“When Berik Darzhanov, thehead of themedical projects of the "AYALA" charity foundation came and became interested inthe needs of resuscitation department, I could hardly believe that the purchase and donation of this equipment in our hospital is not fiction. But today, I and all the staff of the resuscitation department were pleasantly surprised that the "AYALA" charity foundation kept its word. Many thanks to the National bank of Kazakhstan and all the staff of the "AYALA" foundation”,- said Kair ABDRAKHMANOV, chief physician of the Akmola regional children’s hospital.

"Now, when after birth an illness is detected, a child does not leave in resuscitation department of a perinatalcenter, but transferred to a children's hospital. And if the children's resuscitation departments of maternity homesand perinatal centers are equipped with the necessary equipment to provide high-tech care to newborn babies, then in resuscitation departments of children's hospitals lacking such equipment and medical staff find themselves in tight situation. Doctors have experience, skills, but lack the tools for the treatment of the above patients. Therefore, the “AYALA” foundation considers this project, in fact, a continuation of the recently concluded republican "Breathe, baby" project - said vice-president of the "AYALA" charity foundation Zhangeldy SARSENOV.
