Helping babies in the perinatal center of Kryvyi Rih

The Kryvyi Rih Perinatal Center* provides medical care to pregnant women, women in labor, women in childbirth, infants, including those who are very premature, and gynecological patients, including children and adolescents. Not only residents of Kryvyi Rih and neighboring communities, but also citizens forced to evacuate from the regions of hostilities and the territories temporarily occupied by Russia, turn to this institution. As of today, more than 74.5 thousand refugees have officially registered in Kryvyi Rih, and the city has actually received more than 80 thousand people.

Doctors who save the lives of preterm and newborn babies every day have a critical and urgent need to improve neonatal diagnostics, which at certain stages of medical care is extremely important for making the right decisions about the tactics of treatment and nursing of newborns in the postnatal care and intensive care units, and in general of all children who are treated in the perinatal center.
About 400 babies are patients of the postnatal nursing unit annually, and about 250 babies are patients of the neonatal intensive care unit. All of them need ultrasound diagnostics. In addition, about 15% of newborns in the mother and newborn co-location unit need a diagnostic examination to rule out urgent pathological conditions.

The ultrasound machine we are going to donate to the hospital is an essential tool for diagnosing and monitoring the health of mothers and children, and the hospital does not have any modern devices of this level! And ultrasound examinations are necessary for all newborns, not to mention the challenges that doctors face when caring for premature babies, who can weigh up to 500 grams.
With such equipment in the perinatal center, doctors will be able to examine all babies and provide timely assistance. This device will be used for the timely diagnosis of brain pathology, pathology of internal organs, kidneys and musculoskeletal system in 100% of all babies born in this medical institution.

Help us make the doctors' dream come true and provide them with the best device for diagnosing babies.
