Relief: strengthening communities in Kyiv region

RELIEF is a large-scale humanitarian aid project of the Zaporuka Charitable Foundation in partnership with Soleterre Onlus and funded by the Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo. The goal is to systematically strengthen the communities of Kyiv, Poltava, and Cherkasy regions.

Only in the last 2 weeks:

• the pediatric department of the National Cancer Institute received assistance from us in the amount of UAH 302,531. We purchased a monitor for newborns with small sensors, reagents for TKM, 6 Power Supply SP power supply systems with Euro III plugs to power infusomats in the European standard. We also bought medicines and consumables for emergency care: adhesive plasters, systems for infusomats, extension cords, catheters.
  For the new rehabilitation department, which we have also started to create, we purchased simulators and corrective mirrors for UAH 252,132. Such mirrors are often used for rehabilitation after amputation. They reflect a person with both limbs, thus "tricking" the brain and helping to synchronize gait and movements.
• The Institute of Neurosurgery was provided with supplies worth UAH 110,000: antibiotics, surgical kits, suture materials, etc. In addition, UAH 300,000 was spent on targeted assistance, including the purchase of implants and electrode sets of specific sizes for children preparing for surgery.
• The first children's hospital serving seriously ill children received from us a complete set of accessories (cords, adapters, masks) for the ventilator, so that the device could finally function to its fullest.
• The intensive care unit of the National Children's Hospital Okhmatdyt was supported with expenditures amounting to UAH 100,384.
• 6 high-quality adjustable beds with mattresses worth UAH 172,188 were purchased and installed at Boyarka Hospital.
