Twin cities and international partners provide vital support to Zaporizhzhia. Among other things, they donate ambulances. City hospitals No. 3, No. 4, and No. 8 received such transport earlier. Special vehicles are needed to transport patients. Ambulances have all essential equipment, including a defibrillator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Hospital No.3 received an ambulance from international partners. The vehicle is fully equipped to provide medical care to patients. There is a suction device, medicines for wound treatment, dressing material and an automatic external defibrillator. As medics say, the equipment is easy to use, which is crucial in emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambulance also has a bag for providing emergency medical care. It contains dressing material, infusion solutions, devices for measuring pressure and blood oxygen saturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to this equipment, which we did not have before, we can provide high-quality and continuous medical care in this vehicle,\u201d said Yevheniia Shevchenko, an anesthesiologist at City Hospital No. 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The medical facility provides assistance to surgical patients, in particular, those with ENT and ophthalmic diseases. The hospital\u2019s administration emphasizes that such aid is urgently needed. An ambulance helps transport patients for examinations, bring them home after surgeries, as well as get visiting doctors to bedridden patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe vehicle is used every day, it helps a lot in our work,\u201d said Olena Ivakhnenko, director of City Hospital No. 3<\/strong>. \u201cIt makes the treatment process more comfortable because a patient used to have to call for an ambulance service or a taxi to get, for instance, to the CT examination, which is located either in another hospital or in some private medical centre. But now we can deliver patients for examination and return them to the hospital for further treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aid from twin cities and other international partners of Zaporizhzhia help save many lives. In addition to Hospital No. 3, ambulances were also donated to City Hospitals No. 4 and No. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmong the twin cities that help us and provide ambulances is Oberhausen. The partners have already donated two of them,\u201d said Viktoriia Agientaieva, director of the City Development Institute of Zaporizhzhia<\/strong>. \u201cAnd there is Gdansk, which is not our twin city but gives us a lot of support in difficult times. The city of Gdansk delivered the two ambulances for City Hospitals No. 8 and No. 9. And as of today, we are waiting for two more vehicles from Linz, our twin city in Austria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
