Medical Equipment for the Kharkiv Oblast


Merefa Central District Hospital received Medical Equipment

May 25, 2022    A friendly partnership connects the Merefa community with the American twin city of Kharkiv, Cincinnati. At the invitation of the Mayor of Merefa - Benjamin Sitov, a delegation from the United States in 2013 was a guest of our city and signed Memoranda with the communities of Wilmington and Madeira, which are part of the metropolis of Cincinnati. Recently, the community received financial assistance for the purchase of necessary and expensive medical equipment from American friends Bob Herring, Susan Neaman from the Twin Committee "Kharkiv - Cincinnati". The community's volunteer platform "Kharkiv - School of Courage" (Serhiy Fedchenko, Volodymyr Bulba, Olga Fedchenko) helped to organize such effective communication.

Thanks to the financial support of American friends, Merefa Central District Hospital received new medical equipment with charitable funds from the United States.

Patient monitor - allows you to monitor the condition of critically ill patients and patients during complex operations.

Coagulator - used during all surgeries to stop bleeding and soft tissue incisions as quickly as possible.

LikaSurgeon laser coagulator is used for welding varicose veins, which is the latest surgery without incisions, as well as for cutting tissues and stopping bleeding. This device is also used to remove hemorrhoids and skin tumors.

Blood analyzer - necessary for the diagnosis and monitoring of acid-base imbalances and determination of blood gases and electrolytes.

Thank you, friends! We will constantly publish information about the use of equipment for the needs of the community on our website. Everything will be Ukraine!

We are near Merefa Central District Hospital.  Today we received a gift from our American friends.  Initially we thought we needed generators but that issue was solved.  We got new generators and soon they will be installed and put on line.  You agreed that your charitable aid could be repurposed to purchase medical equipment.  We have just received this equipment - it is very important and badly needed.  Please accept sincere gratitude from our community and from all of Ukraine.     V.S. Mayor of Merefa

I'd like to express my heart-felt gratitude to our dear friends from the US.  You helped us obtain state-of-the-art equipment both clinical and laboratory.  During these tough war times, it's a major milestone for our hospital.  Most importantly, it will help us save lots of lives and provide care to those who need it.  Thank you, again!      O.K.  Assistant General Manager, Merefa Central District Hospital.
