A new life during the war

Newborn babies need your support! About 800 births are accepted in Zaporizhzhya Maternity Hospital №9* per year, and this is an indicator during the full-scale war. The city is home to residents who did not want to leave, as well as internally displaced persons who moved from more dangerous areas. We thank everyone who has already supported this project, continue fundraising, and urge you to make your contribution to the future of Ukraine.

To provide full-fledged and high-quality medical support for mothers and their babies, the institution critically needs the following equipment:

• semi-automatic biochemical analyzer designed for quantitative analysis of serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and other types of patient samples;

• hematological automatic analyzer, it is used to study quantitative and qualitative indicators of blood. There is no analyzer here at all, doctors work with manual methods, which is very difficult and inconvenient;

• centrifuge. It is used in blood services, diagnostic laboratories, and medical institutions for the preparation of donor blood components, clinical diagnostics, and the plasmapheresis procedure (purification of the patient's blood). This equipment is also not available. Additional equipment for the full operation of the centrifuge is a rotor and a plasma separator;

• a rotor intended for equipping a medical centrifuge during the separation of heterogeneous liquid systems;

• a plasma separator is an electromechanical device that easily separates blood components into red cells and plasma.

All this medical equipment is basic and necessary during delivery and after that to diagnose the condition of patients.

Zaporizhzhya suffers from constant shelling, and despite the war and grief, Ukrainians continue to create a new life.

*Full name of the institution: KNP "Maternity House №9" of Zaporizhzhya City Council.
