Intensive Care
Cardiac Care Equipment is vital to hospitals around the world. Without the proper equipment, many hospitals and clinics are helpless when a sick patient is brought to them. Assist International is proud to deliver this cutting-edge equipment to hospitals around the world so that they can be an effective source of treatment. Here are some examples of recent projects:
Medical Project in Cuba
In September, 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.
Medical Project in China
Assist
International traveled to China to install cardiac care equipment in the Toajing County Hospital in May, 2008. Rotary International and GE graciously donated the equipment, and we want to thank them for their continued partnership in our work.
Toajing County Hospital is a referral hospital to 850,000 people who reside in the city and roughly 2 million more in the surrounding area. Dr. Chang, a Cardiologist at the hospital, helped train local doctors and nurses on using the new equipment, which included six GE Dash Monitors that measure vital signs. This equipment is certain to save lives and give hope to people in the region suffering from heart-related illnesses.
Your donations helped pave the way for this important piece of equipment, and we want to thank you for your partnership in our mission, too.
