Children's Hope: Help To The Heart Institute

In November 2018, Kyivstar, together with the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace, launched the project "Children's Hope" to help children with heart and cancer diseases in Ukrainian hospitals. In the framework of the project in the direction of Oncology, in June 22, 2020, assistance received to the State Institution "Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine".

The hospital has an Intensive Care Unit for newborns and premature babies, which annually provides assistance to thousands of children with cardiovascular disease. The Heart Institute is a specialized scientific and clinical institution in cardiology, heart and main vascular surgery, X-ray endovascular diagnostics and transplantology. Every year, the medical institution performs more than 6,000 heart surgeries, of which about 800 are for congenital heart defects.

The funds raised was used to purchase 2 neonatal devices for phototherapy and heating NO-AF-KR 1 at the Intensive Care Unit for newborns and premature babies. This device is an open resuscitation system designed for resuscitation and restoration of vital functions of children immediately after birth and after carrying out surgical interventions. The equipment will allow to provide treatment to newborns and premature babies at a better level.
