Prytula Foundation USA has delivered an Aesculap ELAN 4 neurosurgical system worth $37,009 to the Zaporizhzhia Regional Children's Hospital (TMA “Healthy Family”). Funded by contributions from our donors, this equipment will help surgeons perform complex operations faster and provide critical care to patients with severe head injuries. In neurosurgery, every minute matters. Until now, surgeons at the hospital had to manually open the skull to access the brain during certain procedures. According to the hospital's neurosurgeon, this process could take up to 40 minutes. In critical cases, such delays can put patients' lives at risk. With the new Aesculap ELAN 4 system, surgeons expect to reduce this step to approximately 10 minutes, giving them more valuable time to treat injuries and save lives. The hospital has 425 beds and treats more than 17,000 inpatients annually, approximately 84% of whom are children. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, its medical teams have treated 350 children with mine and blast-related injuries. The hospital has recently built a new surgical facility and is equipping it with modern medical equipment thanks to the support of charitable donors. The Aesculap ELAN 4 system is an important addition to these efforts, strengthening the hospital's neurosurgical capabilities and helping medical teams provide more complex care locally, reducing the need to transfer patients to other regions. This purchase was made possible by the generosity of Prytula Foundation USA donors. Your support gives Ukrainian medical professionals the tools they need to respond to critical injuries and provide timely care where it is needed most.

Prytula Foundation U.S.A., together with our valued partner, the Ukrainian NGO Early Birds (Ranni Ptashky), delivered newborn positioning sets to two perinatal centers in Kyiv. A total of 71 positioning sets, valued at $2,819.05, were provided to: Kyiv City Perinatal Center — 46 sets. Kyiv Regional Perinatal Center — 25 sets. The sets include positioning nests, shoulder supports, and cotton and flannel nappies. Why are these positioning sets important? Newborn positioning aids help babies, particularly those born prematurely, maintain a natural, comfortable body position. They support individualized neonatal care, improve babies' comfort, and make everyday care routines easier for medical professionals. Our valued partner, Early Birds, played an essential role in this project. Through their close collaboration with neonatal medical teams, they stay informed about hospitals' most urgent needs and the specific quality requirements of newborn care supplies. Their expertise also helped guide the design and production of the positioning aids. Every donation matters, regardless of its size. Supporting Ukrainian hospitals is not only about purchasing expensive medical equipment. Everyday essentials can also make a meaningful difference, helping healthcare professionals work more effectively and improving the quality of care and comfort for their patients. Regular donations are especially valuable. Their consistency allows us to plan assistance ahead of time, address ongoing needs, and support hospitals with the practical supplies they rely on every day. Thank you to our donors for making this possible. Every contribution counts, and together, they create a lasting impact.
