The funds were used to purchase and install the following: RUBINA 3D 4K video system for paediatric surgery, which allows for maximum safety thanks to 3D visualisation. A Cryo-S Painless cryosurgical apparatus that freezes peripheral nerves during operations, reducing pain after surgery.
Thanks to the new equipment, the Unbreakable rehabilitation centre is becoming a reliable place of treatment in Ukraine for more than 3,000 children, including 250 young patients with severe injuries, including burns.
Kyivstar has allocated UAH 20 million for the purchase of modern medical equipment and engages its subscribers in fundraising for medical equipment as part of the Children's Hope initiative.
