Urgent help for OHMATDYT

On 8 July 2024, a rocket attack turned one of the buildings of the OKHMATDYT hospital in Kyiv, where children received dialysis, into ruins, while other hospital buildings were damaged and left without windows. This is one of the largest and most professional children's hospitals in Ukraine. This morning it became the enemy's target.

Serious patients are treated there every day: children with cancer, complex injuries, serious illnesses and those preparing for organ transplants. These kids are desperately fighting for their lives every minute and could not pose a threat to anyone.

The cost of the losses is enormous, but the most important thing is that the children, parents, doctors and some of the expensive equipment that we and dozens of other foundations have raised funds for have been damaged.

Once again, we have overcome the pain and turned it into a benefit. We are launching a fundraising campaign to rebuild the hospital, namely to provide it with medical equipment, including replacement of the destroyed one.

As part of the project, unique and important equipment will be purchased for the OKHMATDYT hospital, including

An ultrasound scanner for imaging in general and laparoscopic surgery. The manufacturer of the equipment is BK Medical ApS (Denmark). The cost is UAH 8,500,000. This equipment will be purchased to replace the one destroyed in a missile strike. The device will be used for ultrasound diagnostics during highly complex surgical operations. The planned delivery date is September 2024.
ENT machine Medicenter Intra. HAS BEEN HANDED OVER TO THE HOSPITAL. The equipment was manufactured by Dantschke Medizintechnik (Germany).  The cost is UAH 3,695,000. The ENT combine allows covering a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and manipulations in the ENT department. On 20 August, the ENT combine was handed over to the hospital and is already being used by doctors.
The LIKA-surgeon+ diode surgical dual-wavelength laser. The manufacturer is Fotonica Plus (Ukraine). The cost is UAH 370,000. It will be used to perform unique surgeries for arteriovenous malformations in children. The planned delivery date is early October 2024.

Cryosurgical apparatus CRYO-S Painless. The manufacturer of the equipment is METRUM CRYOFLEX Sp. z o.o.  The cost of the device is UAH 1,000,000. The device allows for temporary freezing of peripheral nerves during surgery and avoiding pain in the postoperative period. The planned date of delivery to the hospital is October 2024.
No words are enough to express all the pain that is in our hearts right now. But we believe that by working together we will be able to help restore the hospital, which saves the lives of our children. Every hryvnia is important, and it is your help that can make the difference. Together we are bringing the moment when all children will receive the necessary medical care on time.

Join the charity initiative and help the hospital continue its vital mission.

UPD: On 20 August, a Medicenter Intra ENT machine (Germany) was delivered to OKHMATDYT Hospital.  The equipment has already been put into operation and is helping the hospital's young patients.
