Germany donates equipment for neurosurgical operations to Children's Hospital “Okhmatdyt”
On December 5, 2022, the German Ambassador Anka Feldhusen and the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk visited Kyiv National Children's Hospital "Okhmatdyt" and handed over new equipment to the hospital. The Federal Government of Germany through the German Development Bank KfW and the Ukrainian Social Investment Fund (USIF) allocated funds in the amount of about EUR 750,000 for that purpose. Thanks to the provided financial support, the hospital was tooled up with the equipment for a modern neurosurgical operating room.
The Vice-Prime Minister of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk pointed out, addressing the audience, that Ukraine today is fighting on two fronts - the military and the humanitarian one. And each such step of support brings the common victory closer. "We keep our humanitarian front. To a large extent - thanks to the help of our international partners. Germany stands side by side with Ukraine during the entire period of hardships", - the government official noted. She reminded that German doctors share their advanced experience of injuries and severe burns treatment with Ukrainian colleagues. Germany rescues Ukrainian soldiers and Ukrainian children, affected by the armed aggression of the russian federation. "Today, Germany provides support to "Okhmatdyt" in equipping a modern neurosurgical operating room. This means that our injured and wounded children will have the opportunity to fully recover here in Ukraine. It is not only a contribution to our common victory! It’s a contribution to our common future!", - the Vice-Prime Minister of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk said. She expressed her sincere gratitude to the Federal Government of Germany, the German Ambassador to Ukraine Ms. A. Feldhusen, and all partners for their support.
The Ambassador Anka Feldhusen, in her turn, stated that: "It is extremely sad that children have to suffer so much from the war, and we are glad that we can contribute to the future of Ukraine - its children. The German Government will make every effort to further support the sustainability of Ukraine's social infrastructure, including in the field of health care." She also noted the long-term, trust-filled cooperation with USIF and the Ministry on matters of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine and informed that this year Germany allocates additional funds in the amount of EUR 24.2 million to USIF in order to provide housing for internally displaced persons.
The general director of "Okhmatdyt" Volodymyr Zhovnir emphasized that: "The unique neuronavigational system, the purchase of which was financed by Germany, will allow to ensure  faster recovery of small patients with the help of targeted surgical interventions." He also commented that russia's military aggression against Ukraine has led to an increase in the number of spinal cord injuries that can only be treated surgically. Therefore, the transferred equipment will allow providing highly qualified assistance to hundreds of patients.
