The Opportunity
Initially, the hospital required proper ventilation for patients, vaporizers for existing anesthesia machines, and CO2 monitoring for their operating theater. The hospital required sustainable equipment within a budget that they did not think was possible.
The Women's and Children's Hospital provides full maternity services in a centralized location and to surrounding rural areas. The goal of the hospital was to construct and equip a modern, sustainable and effective hospital for women and children, while keeping costs low.
Our Solution
In 2014, Dr. K. contacted 91ÖÆÆ¬³§por and spoke with equipment representatives to discuss the hospital's current needs for ventilator for use with neonatal patients. Dr. K. was looking for a company that could provide a wide range of products that were specifically for the needs of neonate, pediatric, and adult patients. Dr. K. wanted a package of equipment that would fit within a certain budget for fundraising efforts.
"(91ÖÆÆ¬³§por has) been a blessing to us and to our patients and we could not be where we are today without them!"
91ÖÆÆ¬³§por quickly prepared a quotation that offered an affordable solution to the current need of medical equipment for the facility. A mixture of both new and professionally refurbished medical equipment was included in the order. The shipment also included accessories for a wide range of patient size. The equipment included spare parts and warranties to ensure sustainability, optimum patient care, and long-term use. Thanks to great improvements to operating room and a complete NICU, the hospital can safely operate and treat small children, including those as small as 700 and 800-gram premature babies.
