For over a quarter of century Kyiv Children’s Center for Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery has been a leading medical institution in Ukraine that provides examination, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with heart and blood vessels diseases. Despite the name of the center, highly trained specialists deliver medical care to not only children but also adults and even yet unborn babies. The center often accepts patients from abroad and in terms of competence and efficacy it keeps up with the other world’s hospitals.
This charitable program aimed to renovate the aging X-ray equipment: two X-ray emitters (ray tubes) of the center’s angiographic surgery room required to be replaced. For six months, the patients had no access to life-saving assistance. ROSHEN Corporation successfully restored the smooth operation of the center. The cost of the project was 1 360 270 hrn.
Each year Kyiv Heart Center performs more than 2500 surgeries. Nearly every fourth patient requires diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular procedures, which are carried out using X-ray systems. Within the last 10 years the center has performed around 6 000 surgeries of the kind.
