Their lives depend on the devices

Every 15 child in Ukraine is born prematurely! Statistics are scary, is not it? And even more frightening is that they may not survive. Babies born before the term, doctors and benefactors carefully call "impatient". They are born with an extremely small weight and immediately after birth, a period of walking, which can last from several weeks to several months, comes on. All this time, the mother's heart is excited to calate, and the child will live and develop through devices that are capable of replacing the vital functions and organs that simply did not have time to develop sufficiently because of premature birth.

Pulse oximeters control heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, and the phototherapy lamp can protect the child's body from the appearance of a yellow pigment - biorulin, which leads to jaundice, and the infusion will help high-precision control of the dosage and the frequency of intravenous administration. Without these super-expensive and ultra-high-speed devices, it's simply impossible to get out of the smallest patients, even if the most expensive doctors are going to do business.

On the 17th of November, the whole world celebrates the Day of Premature Born, on this day the most important buildings of the world are illuminated with violet, in order to draw the attention of the society to the problems of those who have just come to light, and have already struggled for the opportunity to live.
