Over the past year, the team of the Neurosurgery Center of St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital of the First Medical Association of Lviv saved a record number of children.
Doctors performed 440 operations and treated more than a thousand patients. This is one of the highest indicators among all medical institutions of Ukraine that provide neurosurgical care for children.
“Despite the war, power outages and air raids, the team of neurosurgeon Mykhailo Lovga, who headed the department only last year in March, treated and operated 24/7. During this year, doctors faced new challenges – complex mine-explosive injuries and a rapid increase in the flow of severe cancer patients. Because of the war, children from all over Ukraine were brought to us for treatment.
Tumors of the brain and spinal cord of various locations, epilepsy, congenital malformations of the brain and spinal cord, rare and severe oncopathologies, paralysis due to cerebral palsy and complex brain injuries resulting from combat operations – these areas have become our priority. Every day and every hour, we continue to provide emergency and routine patient care. Our goal is to become one of the most powerful neurosurgical centers in Ukraine and Eastern Europe,” the Center for Neurosurgery of the St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital of the First Medical Association of Lviv notes.
