In the fall of 2023, in partnership with the Direct Relief Foundation, we provided the Pavlograd Central City Hospital with a portable ultrasound machine.
Pavlograd Intensive Care Hospital is one of the largest medical facilities in Pavlograd and nearby villages. Still, its role has strengthened because it has become a part of the evacuation route for people with war traumas from the Western Donbas region. In 2022, the hospital provided medical help to about 280,000 people; a good share of them were internally displaced.
An increased number of patients caused a pressing need for essential medical equipment for initial diagnostics in the infectious department. Coronavirus, hepatitis, ARVI, intestinal infections, chicken pox and other diseases - the medical staff of the infectious department fights these "enemies" every day.
"It is incorrect to refer patients who may be at risk of infection to go to a regular ultrasound office. The patient will sit in line, but simultaneously, he can be contagious to others. Very often, we perform ultrasound diagnostics on patients with COVID-19; it is also wrong to "send" them for the ultrasound in the general waiting line. Therefore, such a portable device is very useful for us," says Teymur Osmanov.
A dedicated article about this delivery in the local press confirmed the importance of this humanitarian assistance.
