New modern German equipment – an endoscopic system with a high-frequency electrosurgical apparatus and a set of tools and accessories – has been installed in the pediatric surgery ward of Uzhgorod City Hospital. The cost of the medical equipment is 3 million 759 thousand 500 hryvnias. It was purchased through a subvention from the state budget in the amount of 3 million 650 thousand hryvnias, the rest was financed from the budget of Uzhgorod.
Yesterday, Uzhgorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv and people’s deputy of Ukraine Robert Horvat, who helped to have the subvention allocated, visited the hospital.
According to the chief physician of the institution Ivan Kurakh, doctors of the hospital constantly improve the tactics of treatment, successfully carry out laparoscopic surgeries. The advantages of the latter are less traumatic, shorter treatment, short rehabilitation period.
In 2016, the city purchased laparoscopic equipment from the same German manufacturer for the adult surgery ward of the Uzhgorod City Hospital. Since when, it has proven itself reliable, therefore, they were looking for the possibility to purchase the equipment of this particular manufacturer for the pediatric surgery, – Ivan Kurakh says.
Ivan Kurakh thanked the people’s deputy for the help in acquiring the equipment and told that, for example, now any pathology in children can be seen on the big screen by inserting a 3-5-millimeter port in the abdominal cavity. It is an alternative to traditional operations. Intervention is performed through point punctures or simply through physiological openings. Using a special equipment and a small video camera, a surgeon can examine the affected organ and immediately resolve the problem.
"Thanks to Robert Ivanovich, who assisted in the allocation of funds from the state budget, and for taking care of the problems of the constituency, – the mayor Bohdan Andriyiv said. – Medicine is a priority for the city authorities, because it is the health of Uzhgorod citizens, and we must do everything in our power to ensure that our residents receive professional treatment in our hospitals.
I assure that we will continue these activities in the future, increasing both funding for medicines and for the purchase of modern equipment. And not only for the city hospital, but also for the whole medical field of Uzhgorod. Our goal is to bring medical assistance to the city residents to a new level of quality," – Uzhgorod city council informs on its official page
