Talin hospital receives neonatal care equipment from VivaCell-MTS

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian has visited the maternity department in Talin hospital.

Owing to the joint project by VivaCell-MTS and “BirthLink” NGO, the maternity department of the hospital has received high-quality medical equipment for neonatal care: a mobile warmer, a phototherapy device, infusion pumps, a pulse oximeter, heated mattress, an emergency bag and other facilities. The provided equipment is essential for quality healthcare of sick and low birth weight babies in case of complications around the time of birth or complications due to prematurity.

“There are projects which are important not only from strategic point of view or for their perceptiveness, but they also give us a feeling of individual gratification for being a part of a worthy cause. It is impossible to stay indifferent when witnessing these infants’ struggle for life. This is the reason why our Company wanted to give them a part of hope and confidence by providing equipment of essential necessity,” VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian commented.

In 2015, in the frames of the joint project by VivaCell-MTS and the British NGO “BirthLink”, state-of-the-art medical equipment will be provided to 14 maternity hospitals, encompassing Ararat, Aragatsotn, Kotayk, Armavir, Lori regions and Yerevan.

The project commenced in 2008, and till now VivaCell-MTS has provided over AMD 535 million for the realization of the program.
