Today VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Director of
BirthLink Kathy Mellor visited the maternity department in the central
hospital in Echmiadzin. This hospital has received equipment for
immediate reanimation and warming of sick and small babies,
respiratory monitoring, management of jaundice 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.
, commented VivaCell-MTS
General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
The project implemented by VivaCell-MTS concentrates on the first days
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 co-operation 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.
The 'Every Newborn' action plan, led by WHO and UNICEF, believe that
nearly 3 million babies and women can be saved each year through
investing in quality care around the time of birth and special care
for sick and small newborns.
More than 80% of all newborn deaths result from preventable and
treatable conditions - in particular complications due to prematurity
and infections. Improving quality of care around the time of birth
will save most lives, but needs healthcare professionals with good
knowledge and well equipped facilities to make the difference.
