Kyiv's National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology welcomes modern resuscitation vehicles from MK Foundation

The charitable foundation of Ukrainian investor Maksym Krippa, MK Foundation, has donated two modern resuscitation vehicles to the Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology. Each of them is designed to transport one patient in serious condition or three in stable one.

The vehicles are equipped with all the necessary equipment: each has a defibrillator, an electrocardiograph, a patient monitoring system, an aspirator, oxygen cylinders for artificial lung ventilation and other.

"The ambulances will help us save lives every day. We will be able to provide medical care even more efficiently, deliver patients to our center or transport them to other medical facilities for specialized treatment. The vehicles will also be useful in transporting donor organs, as speed is one of the decisive factors in transplantation, especially when it comes to the heart and liver," said Ruslan Saliutyn, Medical Director of the facility.

Shalimov National Institute of Surgery and Transplantology is one of the leading medical institutions in Ukraine. Every year, more than 8,000 surgical operations are performed here for transplantation, prosthetics and treatment of the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and other vital organs. The center's researchers also develop the latest methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of internal organs.

"Providing medical institutions with equipped resuscitation vehicles is one of the most important areas of MK Foundation's work. We have handed over ambulances to the State Border Guard Service, several brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Center for Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. In total, the Foundation has purchased 30 medical vehicles that are already helping medical staff in their daily work," the MK Foundation said.

MK Foundation, a charitable organization founded by Ukrainian investor Maksym Krippa, specializes in logistical support for the units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and medical services. More than 1800 vehicles have been purchased with the foundation's assistance.

Earlier, the MK Foundation, together with GSC Game World, joined the United24 initiative to support Okhmatdyt when Russia targeted the medical facility with a missile, transferring UAH 10 million to restore the hospital.
