Okhmatdyt – Helping War Victims

Children, civilians, and innocent people suffer because of the war. Every day the injured are brought to Okhmatdyt NDSL. Children, adults, elderly people. It is no longer just a children's hospital that finds itself in the epicenter of the terrible fighting children along with seriously ill children, it is already a hospital that saves all those who are trying to be destroyed by war. It's terrifying to look at. Doctors provide emergency care around the clock, operating on those who have been hit by mortar fire, those who have been shot at and those who have suffered from rocket explosions.

The Orthopedics and Trauma Department needs medical supplies and equipment to save lives. Right now there are 8 patients (3 children and 5 adults) in this department alone. Each one needs VAC systems. And one patient has 2-3 wounds.

Through the project we will be able to purchase two VAC therapy machines that help treat wounds with pressure, collection canisters, 18 disposable devices for washing deep wounds and special VAC dressings for the wounded.
