Kherson Children’s Hospital Upgrades
Kherson Children's Hospital Upgrades by UCAF Donors
Since 1980, the windows in the surgical department of Kherson Regional Children’s Hospital had barely maintained room temperature and were difficult to open—many were even falling apart. These outdated windows not only let in the summer heat and winter cold but also compromised the comfort and safety of patients and staff. Because of donor support, UCAF stepped in to replace the windows, installing modern, soundproof ones that preserve room temperature year-round and open easily.
Various departments in the hospital were in desperate need of remodeling. Doctors were forced to perform surgical procedures in very unsanitary and delipidated conditions. UCAF funded the complete remodeling of several rooms in the hospital providing materials such as linoleum, paint, tiles, etc. making the rooms clean, sanitary, and more functional for surgical procedures.
The hospital also received a monumental upgrade in surgical technology. UCAF funded the department’s first laparoscopic equipment, marking a tremendous advancement for the surgical team. This equipment is especially beneficial for treating young patients, allowing doctors to perform delicate procedures with improved precision and significantly reducing recovery times. In addition to the main laparoscopic setup, UCAF also provided specialized tools necessary for the equipment’s operation. These essential tools enable the doctors to perform higher-quality surgeries for children across the Kherson region.
In neonatal care, UCAF further contributed by purchasing two medical hoods designed to help newborns breathe. These hoods are now a critical part of treating the hospital’s youngest and most vulnerable patients, bringing essential relief and stability to newborns requiring respiratory support.
UCAF’s support for the Kherson Regional Children’s Hospital reflects a commitment to improving children’s healthcare in Ukraine. By providing crucial infrastructure, technology, and tools, UCAF is helping create a safer, more advanced environment for the young patients of Kherson, offering them — and their families — hope and quality care. Our generous donors made all this possible!
