As part of its cooperation with Europe’s largest clinic, Charité, and the Hospital Partnerships Programme, the First Medical Association of Lviv has received a significant batch of equipment for the second time and has the opportunity to train its specialists in the world’s leading clinic.
“This time, we have received crucial equipment for our operating theatres and intensive care units from our German colleagues. In particular, the Charité clinic gave us anaesthetic and breathing machines. This is the most important equipment in the operating room and the main tool in the hands of an anaesthetist. We also received a dermatome, which is a device used by combustiologists to perform skin transplantation. We also received a number of equipment for our rehabilitation departments,” the First Medical Association of Lviv says.
The doctors emphasise that the basis of this cooperation with one of the world’s most famous clinics is the exchange of experience. Recently, three specialists from different intensive care units were trained in Berlin. In particular, Yarema Beznisko is the head of the Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care at St Nicholas Children’s Hospital. At the Charité Clinic, he learned from the experience of his anaesthetists in treating the most difficult paediatric, general, trauma and cardiac surgery patients and is now familiarising himself with the protocols there.
It should be noted that cooperation and partnership with the Charité Clinic is part of the Hospital Partnerships Programme funded by GIZ Ukraine.
