Improving the quality of pediatric neurosurgery together

Brain tumors, hydrocephalus, epilepsy... Behind each of these diagnoses there is a child waiting for surgery. To perform a surgical intervention properly, you need not only a team of talented doctors, but also the right tools.

For neurosurgical operations, shunts and a set of electrodes are critical. In each clinical case, they are selected individually, depending on the child's age, diagnosis and anatomical features. Since these needs are individual, the hospital cannot provide them free of charge as part of a standard surgical package under the medical guarantees program. That is why we help cover the cost of important consumables thanks to the support of caring people.

One shunt costs from 22 to 32 thousand hryvnias, a set of electrodes from 18 thousand. Only in 2024, thanks to the support of the 32 children received proper neurosurgical treatment. This year, 19 more children will receive more than UAH 700 thousand.

The Zaporuka Foundation has been helping doctors perform complex neurosurgical operations in Ukraine for many years - and we continue to do so thanks to you.

Support the collection to ensure that no surgery is delayed when it is necessary to save the most valuable thing: a child's life.
