Rinat Akhmetov Foundation donates high-tech equipment for bone surgery to Okhmatdyt Hospital

A state-of-the-art piezoelectric ultrasound machine for bone surgery with consumables was donated to the Okhmatdyt hospital by Rinat Akhmetov Foundation to enable Ukrainian doctors to help young patients even more efficiently. 

“Assistance to Okhmatdyt is one of our priorities,” says Andriy Mishchenko, Head of Programs and Projects at the Foundation, ”Despite the war, Ukrainian children should receive the best treatment possible in the current realities. That is why we see our task as maximizing the needs of doctors who stay by the side of children in dark times. Our support will continue!” 

Ultrasonic surgical apparatus is a modern high-tech device used during bone surgery. It is easy to operate for maximum safety of surgical treatment and combines the perfect balance between efficiency and safety of bone incision.

This is the third stage of the aid transfer to the hospital, which the Foundation was one of the first to support after the Russian missile attack.
As part of the first stage of assistance, on the third day after the terrorist attack, the Foundation handed over two equipped resuscitation ambulances to Okhmatdyt to save children, which immediately began responding to calls. The second stage was the transfer of state-of-the-art ultrasound diagnostic equipment, which is essential for the neurosurgical department of the Okhmatdyt hospital.

The hospital management and Rinat Akhmetov Foundation continue to work closely together to meet the urgent needs of Ukraine's largest children's hospital. The phased assistance will continue.

This is not the first time the Foundation has helped Ukrainian medical institutions in crisis situations. In 2019, the 200 Ambulances for Ukraine project was implemented, the largest private charitable project in the field of emergency medicine since Independence.

And during the coronavirus pandemic, a key element of Rinat Akhmetov Foundation's assistance to the country was the purchase of more than 200 state-of-the-art lung ventilators for state hospitals, which the Foundation managed to purchase and bring to Ukraine despite the shortage of high-tech medical equipment in the world. Ukrainian medicine needed such equipment the most.

Since 2014, the Foundation has provided treatment and rehabilitation assistance to more than 11 thousand Ukrainians.
