The Mechnikov National Hospital in Dnipro oblast was visited by Verkhovna Rada Chair Ruslan Stefanchuk and the team of the Hope youth initiative foundation led by the foundation president Vita Prysyazhnyuk. During the visit, they discussed medical workers' work during the war and support for the facility with modern equipment.
During the years of full-scale war, the hospital’s medical staff under the leadership of Hero of Ukraine Serhiy Ryzhenko have saved more than 55 thousand lives. Intensive care units operate around the clock, and doctors perform up to a hundred operations daily, including the most complex ones.
“There is no day or night here: every day medical staff perform up to a hundred operations, accept the most complex patients, and fight for every life,” noted Ruslan Stefanchuk.
According to Serhiy Ryzhenko, the hospital receives the most seriously wounded. He said that during the war they managed to save 95% of the fighters who were brought to the medical facility.
During the visit, the Hope Foundation donated an Easy Pulse device for cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the hospital. Veterans with amputations were also given electric scooters as part of the “Scooters for Heroes” program, and the foundation’s ambassador, composer and pianist Yevhen Khmara, held a piano therapy session for patients and medical staff.
The Hope Foundation and its chairman of the supervisory board Valeriy Dubil have supported Mechnikov Hospital since the outset of the full-scale invasion. During this time, the medical facility has been supplied with operating tables, Easy Pulse devices, ventilators, surgical power systems, consumables, and other equipment for treatment and rehabilitation of the wounded.
“For us, supporting Mechnikov Hospital is one of the key priorities. Here, the most severely wounded are saved daily, and the availability of modern equipment directly affects whether lives can be saved,” emphasized Valeriy Dubil.
