Charitable action in phthisiopulmonary medical-diagnostic centre


On December 27 at 10.30 a charitable action took place in Lviv regional phthisiopulmonary medical-diagnostic centre – Rotary Club “Lviv-Ratusha” presented a modern medical equipment for $43000 to better the diagnostics and treatment of tuberculosis.

Rotary Club “Lviv- Ratusha” goes on participating in medical projects. Due to active cooperation of the Rotarians from “Lviv-Ratusha” with their colleagues from abroad the Club has bought and installed the incubator for newborns at the maternity department of Radekhiv central district hospital and a reanimation table for newborns in Horodok.

In 2011 the members of the Club directed their efforts and funds towards the struggle with the rapid development of tuberculosis in Ukraine which became a pandemic disease; according to the latest results of the statistic data our country occupies the 2nd place in Europe in the sickness rate of multiresistant tuberculosis. Today a great deal of population from Western Ukraine in particular from Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk regions come to Lviv regional phthisiopulmonary medical-diagnostic centre. Every year 6000-7000 patients are examined here. Unfortunately the doctors are not able to help everyone owing to the absence of necessary laboratory-diagnostic equipment.

From now on the situation will change for better. Thanks to the ultrasound portable scanner with cardiological transmitter MyLabBridge bought by the Rotarians for $ 38000 the chance to be cured from very difficult forms of the disease will be given to the patients. The main advantage of this ultrasound equipment is its transportation as it may be used not only in hospital but outside it. Thus, the patients may have their lungs and heart examined staying in the ward and this is particularly vital for those who cannot move. A presented ultrasound equipment for modern clinical examination will allow to raise the level of diagnostics, to conduct scientific research and to implement new methods of diagnostics and treatment on the basis of scientific investigation, to control the effectiveness of therapy which in its turn will contribute to the overcoming of the epidemic of tuberculosis.

Besides the apparatus MyLabBridge the Rotarians have presented inhalers, antibacterial lamps, exhausters and functional beds.

The part of funds for buying the necessary medical equipment has been gathered by the Rotarians from “Lviv-Ratusha” Club and the Canadian Club “Edmonton-South” which have been cooperating with each other for a number of years. The initiative of Lviv Club was supported by the Rotary International Foundation which doubled the gathered sum due to the matching grant.

Lubomyr Rak, the chief doctor of Lviv regional phthisiopulmonary medical-diagnostic centre as well as the representatives of RC “Lviv-Ratusha” and mass media were present at the ceremony of transmission of the medical equipment.
