Why is this critical right now?
– This device helps to operate on severe head trauma caused by war (gunfire, shrapnel) and brain damage (stroke, aneurysms). Such a microscope is needed by the hospital named after Mechnikov in Dnipro.
– The neurosurgery department of this hospital already works with similar equipment, but its availability allows only one patient to be operated on. Due to the war, the number of patients who need such an operation increases every day, and one microscope is not enough to provide timely help to all who need it. Evacuees have to wait…
Why is this important for this particular hospital?
⁃Mechnikov Hospital has already received more than 5,000 wounded from war zones since the beginning of the full-scale invasion
⁃ Mechnikov Hospital DAILY receives wounded military personnel from the Dnipro, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions
⁃ The hospital has a lot of experience in the treatment of combat trauma because it has been doing it since 2014
⁃ Mechnikov Hospital is the ONLY hospital in this region specializing in treating brain injuries.
⁃ Mechnikov Hospital also receives evacuated wounded civilians, among whom are older people who have suffered a stroke
⁃ As of the end of October, the frequency of patient admissions doubled due to increased missile attacks and military aggression
⁃ Wounding the military becomes more complicated by nature as the enemy’s weapons become more modified. And unfortunately, it is impossible to operate on them without a state-of-the-art microscope.
⁃ Currently, there is no such equipment either in the city of Dnipro or the region.
