With the support of VivaCell-MTS company, Scientific Research Center of
Maternal and Child Health Protection has acquired up-to-date equipment
to detect developing hip dislocation among infants.
Director of the Center Georgy Okoyev told journalists, every 5th
infant out of 1000 suffers from this disease. The tradition of tight
wrapping, which is so much popular in the republic, also contributes
to the growth of hip dislocation cases. According to the statistics,
the developing hip dislocation is found most frequently among girls
(up to 80% of cases). Furthermore, in case of late detection of the
disease, 30-40% of children risk to remain disabled.
Henceforth the new ultrasonograph will allow examining the infants
and detect the developing hip dislocation at the age of 2-3 days. For
his part, General Manager of VivaCell-MTS Ralph Yirikian stressed
that everyone should contribute to raising of healthcare level in
the republic. "We need a healthy generation. And our company will
continue contributing to acquisition of up-to-date facilities for
the republic's hospitals",- he said.
To note, VivaCell-MTS supports the Children's Rebirth NGO to acquire
relevant facilities for early detection of various diseases and
prevention of children's disability. The company allocated 2.540 mln
AMD for this program.
