    "BIRTHLINK" NGO AND VIVACELL-MTS CONTINUE THEIR PARTNERSHIP TO IMPROVE NEONATAL CARE IN THE COUNTRY

    13:59 * 19.12.14

    VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Director of "BirthLink"
    NGO Kathy Mellor visited the maternity department in the central
    hospital in Masis.

    This hospital has received equipment for immediate reanimation
    and warming of sick and small babies, monitoring and management of
    respiratory difficulties and the provision of intravenous fluids. The
    provided equipment will help support sick and low birth weight babies
    after delivery, with provision to stabilize babies before transfer
    to Yerevan or regional centers. By improving facilities, transfer of
    some babies can be avoided.

    The project with VivaCell-MTS concentrates on the first day of life
    to ensure each maternity facility has doctors and nurses with the
    right knowledge and equipment to improve survival of the vulnerable
    newborn babies. In addition to the equipment being provided, education,
    training and support for the medical staff continues.

    This is now the seventh year of cooperation between "BirthLink" and
    VivaCell-MTS, to improve the care of sick and premature babies in
    Armenia, and thereby reduce neonatal mortality. The project commenced
    in 2008, and till now has supported twelve neonatal departments in
    Yerevan and twenty-three departments in seven regions of Armenia with
    about AMD 535 million of support from VivaCell-MTS.
