NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE COT TO MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTER
Support A1+!
Today VivaCell-MTS announced the official hand over ceremony of neonatal intensive care cot to the Medical Research Center for Maternal and Child Health Protection. The equipment for intensive therapy from now on will be used for improving the condition of sickly and weak infants increasing their chances of survival and will eventually result in a major decrease in childhood mortality.
Armenia bears infant mortality rate of 25 out of every 1000 live births, and no drop in child mortality has been registered over the last 15 years. During the first month of life infant mortality is usually caused by different health problems, low weight and poor health among them. This can be avoided if special equipment is available.
As a responsible corporate citizen VivaCell-MTS pays huge attention to health care for children and mothers. The special modern baby intensive care cot purchased will help achieve improved health outcomes in the context of ill children.
“Children's health needs must be addressed as we must care for our future today. VivaCell-MTS is dedicating its CSR activities in 2009 to children under the title “VivaCell-MTS to Children”. Our projects will target children’s needs on all levels. Handing over this important equipment is a worthwhile and promising program that fits comfortably into our overall activity in the sphere of CSR for year 2009 to the benefit of the children of Armenia. Children are the flowers of our life and their health is truly important. Their happy and healthy life is everyone’s issue, and therefore it deserves the public's full-fledged support”, - noted VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
