VivaCell-MTS announces that VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph
Yirikian and BirthLink NGO Director Kathy Mellor, as well as a group
of neonatologists, visited the neonatal department of the Stepanavan
hospital, Lori region.
Stepanavan hospital neonatal department received the following
neonatal care equipment in frames of the project in Lori region: an
infant radiant warmer - intensive care cot, phototherapy unit for
treating jaundice, pulse oximeter for monitoring oxygenation, heated
mattress, portable oxygen cylinder with low flow meter, emergency bag
for transporting sick babies, suction apparatus.
This essential equipment is necessary for maintaining the baby's
temperature and stabilizing or sustaining the baby until transfer can
be undertaken to a regional centre or to Yerevan. Some babies with
potentially life-threatening problems, who receive immediate and
appropriate care after delivery, may need no further intervention.
This equipment can be the difference between life and death.
"We are happy that the Neonatal care project has reached Lori region
as well. This project is aimed at improving access to medical services
in the regions. People in the regions should have equal opportunities
to receive medical services, especially when it comes to infants,"
VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian commented. "Each child's
life is a gift, and as a caring
company VivaCell-MTS is committed to helping maternity hospitals in
eradicating the biggest challenge that we have today - the infant
mortality rate."
For the 5th year in a row VivaCell-MTS together with BirthLink NGO
makes efforts aimed at reducing the level of infant mortality in our
country. Within this period of time, the equipment for a total of
about AMD 360 million has been installed in more than 30 medical
centers of Yerevan and the regions. The specialists say the positive
results are already obvious.
Every year, more than 4 million infants worldwide die in the first
year of life. 98 percent of the cases are registered in the developing
countries. 65 percent of lethal cases are registered within the first
month, with two third of them - during the first week, and more than
half - within the first 24 hours after the birth.
