    STEPANAVAN HOSPITAL NEONATAL DEPARTMENT RECEIVES EQUIPMENT AS PART OF VIVACELL-MTS NEONATAL CARE PROJECT

    14:28 28/11/2012 " HEALTH

    VivaCell-MTS announces that VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph
    Yirikian and BirthLink NGO Director Kathy Mellor, as well as a group
    of neonatologists, visited the neonatal department of the Stepanavan
    hospital, Lori region.

    Stepanavan hospital neonatal department received the following
    neonatal care equipment in frames of the project in Lori region: an
    infant radiant warmer - intensive care cot, phototherapy unit for
    treating jaundice, pulse oximeter for monitoring oxygenation, heated
    mattress, portable oxygen cylinder with low flow meter, emergency bag
    for transporting sick babies, suction apparatus.

    This essential equipment is necessary for maintaining the baby's
    temperature and stabilizing or sustaining the baby until transfer can
    be undertaken to a regional centre or to Yerevan. Some babies with
    potentially life-threatening problems, who receive immediate and
    appropriate care after delivery, may need no further intervention.

    This equipment can be the difference between life and death.

    "We are happy that the Neonatal care project has reached Lori region
    as well. This project is aimed at improving access to medical services
    in the regions. People in the regions should have equal opportunities
    to receive medical services, especially when it comes to infants,"
    VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian commented. "Each child's
    life is a gift, and as a caring
    company VivaCell-MTS is committed to helping maternity hospitals in
    eradicating the biggest challenge that we have today - the infant
    mortality rate."

    For the 5th year in a row VivaCell-MTS together with BirthLink NGO
    makes efforts aimed at reducing the level of infant mortality in our
    country. Within this period of time, the equipment for a total of
    about AMD 360 million has been installed in more than 30 medical
    centers of Yerevan and the regions. The specialists say the positive
    results are already obvious.

    Every year, more than 4 million infants worldwide die in the first
    year of life. 98 percent of the cases are registered in the developing
    countries. 65 percent of lethal cases are registered within the first
    month, with two third of them - during the first week, and more than
    half - within the first 24 hours after the birth.
