Stop the onset of tuberculosis!

There is a children's sanatorium in Zaporizhia region. But it is not ordinary! Most of the children undergoing treatment are from dysfunctional families, and some are from boarding schools. Treatment usually lasts from 3 to 20 months, and for bed patients – up to 4 years. The only children's tuberculosis sanatorium in Zaporizhia region provides treatment for children with tuberculosis (maintenance phase), preventive treatment for children at risk and children with orthopedic problems.

Social factors: crises, low incomes of citizens, local conflicts and population migration are becoming an important cause of the spread of the incidence of severe forms of tuberculosis. In terms of the incidence of tuberculosis in children, Zaporizhzhia region ranked first in 2018. For more than 20 years, an institution with the title "sanatorium" was located in the building of an abandoned children's institution. Finally, there were sponsors who in 2019 complete the full reconstruction of the entire building. And now the question of acquiring new medical equipment becomes relevant. It is extremely necessary for the implementation of rehabilitation of children after the active phase of treatment of tuberculosis. In addition, in the sanatorium, we also treat children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Part of the old medical equipment was damaged during dismantling. And some even was not, but it is extremely necessary for the treatment process. Zaporizhzhia tuberculosis sanatorium needs an ultrasonic nebulizer.

This medical equipment is used for inhalation in order to reduce bronchospasm and slow down the activity of the inflammatory process of the respiratory tract. The aerosol formed during the healing process consists of microscopic particles of the drug substance. This contributes to the deep penetration of the drug and uniform distribution in both the upper and lower parts of the human respiratory tract. An ultrasonic inhaler is also compatible with decoctions of herbs, oil and water solutions.

The only disadvantage of this medical equipment is its high cost 56,530 UAH, and for a medical institution, it is not the only need. And, whatever the wonderful conditions and the care of the staff in the sanatorium, it’s all the same, the greatest children's desire is to return to their home as soon as possible. And this is possible only with the full and effective treatment.
