The Italian military donated a neonatal island to the Gjakova hospital, an electrocardiograph and a multi-parametric monitor together with other medical materials and to the Klina hospital. All this will allow the development of a neonatal support capacity and monitoring of vital parameters for more than 6.000 subjects affected by various diseases.
A concrete help that will reduce the risk complications for 50 newborns a year
The neonatal island increases the life-saving capacity of the Giakova healthcare unit, potentially reducing the risk of complications for 50 infants a year.
A cycle of donations of medical material in favor of hospitals located in the western part of Kosovo was thus concluded.
