We received an urgent request from our partners in Rivne for nappies for adults in care facilities. Every day this war goes on, the number of people in need increases. But not only that - the supply of even the most basic necessities is becoming increasingly scarce.
A great example of important donations in kind:
Due to the changeover to a different system, we received 12 complete emergency coniotomy sets with long expiry dates from an ambulance service provider. Our partners on the ground are already waiting for them, because these systems are expensive. Often they constitute the last resort for severely injured patients to secure an airway and thus prevent suffocation.
Thank you very much for thinking along with us!
#1000 sleeping bags: Even in summer, houses are damaged or destroyed, people become homeless every single day.
DRK Kliniken Berlin provided several sets of surgical saws and drills along with batteries and chargers.
Mobile ultrasound devices help with the early detection of internal injuries, which can then be treated adequately.
Schiller Medical, a company from Leipzig/GER, in cooperation with 4-ukraine, donated a stationary (laptop) ECG and a patient monitor to the Institute of Neurology, Psychiatry and Addictive Diseases of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kharkiv.
Today we were finally - after more than three weeks! - able to deliver the urgently needed dialysis material for the pediatric intensive care unit at St. Nicholas in Lviv. The material was in danger of running out due to supply shortages while patients were still being treated.
Donation in kind from a medical distributor: thousands of individually packaged disinfectant wipes.
St. Nicholas Hospital in Lviv is a supra-regional paediatric traumatology and paediatric neurosurgery centre in western Ukraine. In addition to the increased number of patients from the region, patients from other regions whose infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed now have to be treated there.
Delivered at the beginning of April: Extremity splints, battery-operated suction pumps.
