The charitable donation is the result of cooperation between Lviv Oblast and the federal state of Saarland, with which a partnership agreement was signed last November.
Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University Hospital received medical equipment from the Federal State of Saarland (Germany). It includes 15 ventilators and an OLYMPUS-ALOKA ultrasonographic video scanner for convex scanning.
This charitable assistance is the result of cooperation between Lviv Oblast and the federal state of Saarland, with which a Partnership Agreement was signed last November. At that time, Minister-President of the Saarland Anke Röhlinger and the head of the Lviv Regional State Administration Maksym Kozytskyi agreed to cooperate in many areas, including education and medicine.
“The Minister-President visited Lviv Medical University and praised the desire to create conditions for high-quality training of future doctors. Two months later, the German partners handed over an operating proctology table and an operating lamp to the university. The equipment is now used at the Department of Surgery No. 1. And yesterday, thanks to the initiative of Ms Röhlinger, the institution again received a valuable gift from the Germans,” said Iryna Butynets, Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Lviv Regional State Administration.
This time, the collection of equipment was organised by Professor Marcin Krawczyk from the University Hospital of Essen. The University Hospital in Homburg and the public association UkraineFreundeSaar helped transport it.
Cooperation under the Agreement provides for the exchange of students and teachers from medical schools in Lviv and Saarland. The next step in the cooperation will be to organise internships for Ukrainian students and teachers at medical institutions in Germany. The Lviv region is also looking forward to the arrival of German doctors to share their experience.
