Portable ultrasound device for the "Center of Primary Health Care" of the city of Toretsk

Although the Toretsk community in the Donetsk region has been under mandatory evacuation for some time, there are still about 20,000 residents who are not ready to leave, even though they face constant risks of being killed or wounded by shelling.  The Primary Health Care Center in Toretsk works around the clock. 31 doctors, 68 nurses and 42 junior nurses remain to provide medical help. Four palliative care teams visit immobile patients who can’t reach the hospital premises. The facility desperately required means for fast diagnostics, foremost a modern and portable ultrasound machine, and we decided to address this pressing need.
