03-09-2013  THE "AYALA" CHARITY FOUNDATION AND "ENERECO CASPIO ENGINEERING AND CONTRACTING" LLP PASS MEDICAL EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE "BREATHE LIFE" PROJECT

Today, to the resuscitation department of Atyrau regional Children's Hospital transferred medical equipment within the "Breathe life" project. The general sponsor of this project was the “Enereco Caspio Engineering and Contracting” company.

Modern medicine is unthinkable without efficient and accurate dosing of highly potent drugs. This point is especially important in pediatrics, because the dosage must be strictly calculated depending on the weight of the tiny patient. Syringe and infusion pumps allow health care professionals accurately dose injections of drugs over time and dose.

The "Breathe life" project of the “AYALA” charity foundation aims to support children's resuscitation departments of regional hospitals in Kazakhstan. This project began in 2007, when the fund has helped to equip with the medical equipment a department of resuscitation of the City Children Hospital for Infectious Diseases (CCHID) of Almaty. In these department ventilators, semi-automatic laboratory, apparatus for phototherapy, incubator for newborns and other medical equipment have been put. The project has proven its effectiveness by dozens of rescued children's lives. Using the equipment that "AYALA" foundation passed to CCHID, infant mortality decreased by 4 times. In 2011 it was decided to expand the boundaries of the initiated project outside the southern capital.

In Atyrau regional children's hospital for 170 beds deployed resuscitation department for 5 seats. This hospital provides care for children from birth until 15 years old on surgical and pediatric services. Every year more than 250 children receive medical care in the resuscitation department. The overall mortality rate in 2012 was 0.5%, this figure is largely caused to the lack of high-tech medical equipment.

Atyrau Regional Children's Hospital – is the only medical facility providing care for children in this region. The hospital is functioning since 1974. The “AYALA” charity foundation could not ignore one of the oldest medical institutions in Western Kazakhstan in the framework of the "Breathe life" project. With the support of “Enereco Caspio Engineering and Contracting” company, the "AYALA" foundation purchased for the resuscitation department of the Atyrau Regional Children's Hospital 6 syringe and 3 infusion pumps.

The general manager of the “Enereco Caspio Engineering and Contracting” Nazira Kamispaeva said: “We have been working in this region for a long time and the health of children in the region has been the object of our attention. Charity foundations are working not only in Almaty and Astana, and for us became a pleasant discovery that the "AYALA" charity foundation, which is based in Almaty successfully implementing projects throughout the country, so we have chosen this fund as partner in this project". 

Head physician of the Atyrau Regional Children's Hospital Nurkabyl Aytmuhambetov said: “Our doctors and nurses are well aware of the equipment that we have today, they know how to work with these precise medical instruments and will do everything possible to ensure that this equipment has become efficient and effective in saving lives of our patients. On my own behalf and on behalf of all my colleagues I want to express my deepest appreciation to the management and employees of the “Enereco Caspio Engineering and Contracting” company and employees of the "AYALA" charity foundation.

"Some of the projects of the foundation insensibly became with the republican value. For doctors who are working in the fund such projects become very close. We see that physicians from all regions of Kazakhstan with the help of the equipment that we install in hospitals, perinatal centers, regional and central district hospitals really are saving children's lives. And for me, as I was in the past pediatric anesthesiologist and expert in resuscitation, this project is particularly close", - summed up the opinion of colleagues, director of the medical projects of the "AYALA" charity foundation Berik Darzhanov.
