Assistance to the Kharkiv Perinatal Center. 2

We are opening a second collection to help the Kharkov Perinatal Center. This hospital has the only neonatal intensive care unit left in the city and they really need help.

In the Kharkov Regional Perinatal Center, women are giving birth despite the constant attack from the sky from Russia. The shelling does not stop day or night. Now there is one neonatal intensive care unit in the entire Kharkov region. And it is just on the basis of the perinatal center. Here doctors save the lives of young patients 24 hours a day. Now there are 15 children in the intensive care unit, who need medical care, modern equipment and all the efforts of doctors who do not leave their place of work.

The head of the center, Irina Kondratova, explains: It is impossible to give birth in basements that serve as a shelter.

"When the question arose of what to do, where to give birth, how to find safe conditions, we realized that in those basements that we have, we cannot deploy an operating room or birthing room, it would not withstand any sanitary standards. We decided to deploy everything here — in the infectious disease unit. It works as a delivery room and an operating room, we have a room where we transfer girls with children and partners", Kondratova says.

Despite the optimistic mood of doctors and the coordinated work of all medical personnel, they need technical help. Namely medical equipment. We have already raised money for 10 beds for children and two double-channel syringe pumps for infusion therapy for children. Now there is an urgent need to purchase a modern phototherapy lamp to prevent jaundice in children and an additional 10 medical beds for children.

Each contribution will save children's lives!
