New goal of !Fund of the Ones who Care: a medical equipment for newborns
31.07.17

An infant phototherapy lamp for a Pediatric Resuscitation Unit is a new the 9th goal of !Fund of the Ones who Care. Therequired amount is 150, 000 UAH. When we have money, we’ll buy such lamp for Regional Children's Clinical Hospital "Okhmatdyt." We’ve already started to collect money.

Every day infants get into "Okhmatdyt" Pediatric Resuscitation Unit who suffer from an elevated level of bilirubin, meaning that a newborn has jaundice. Nowadays, it’s approximately 60% of newborns. If phototherapy with special lamps is not provided in due time, nuclear jaundice may happen that can destroy the nervous system. As a result – retardation and disability.  


There is only one operating infant phototherapy lamp in the Unit for the time being and every day 5-7 newborns are in need.

Actually, the hospital needs 9 phototherapy lamps in order to help kids from the whole district. It’s such trivial and necessary therapy equipment. If phototherapy isn’t undergone, the consequences are very dangerous for infant central nervous system. That’s why, when we buy one more lamp, there won’t be any queues for therapy and kids will be treated in time,” says Viktoriya Khrystenko, the manager of !Fund of the Ones who Care.

All goals of !Fund are directed to help a lot of people at once. The goal #9 will give a chance to treat newborns.
