In September of 2009, volunteers and members of Assist International completed a medical project at the William Solar Teaching Hospital in Havana, Cuba. The Pentecostal Assemblies of Cuba, a group of 3,000 churches, invited AI to do this project for children in Cuba. The most critically ill children are sent to this hospital for treatment.
The hospital was fully equipped with Intensive Care and Critical Care equipment. With generous donations from GE, Assist International provided six new full perimeter cardiac care monitors and six “step down” monitors for post surgical care. Other equipment donated and installed included two ventilators, an echocardiography ultrasound, a general ultrasound, two baby warmers, two incubators and six oak wood bassinets. Training, medical supplies and accessories were also provided.
The staff at William Solar Teaching Hospital are very excited for these recent additions to lift the hospital to a new level of health care. The doctors and nurses are outstanding caretakers and fully dedicated in their work.
