Law school students donate equipment to maternity hospital
SocietyUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Students of the law school of the National University of Mongolia have donated four O2 Concentrates, which in total cost 7 million MNT, to the II Maternity House. The law school students have initiated the charity action in 2014, and since then have been donating necessary staffs to the National Health Center for Mothers and Children and the National Oncology Center.
The funds have been raised from the students’ savings for graduation parties. Each year approximately 150 students graduate from the Law School.
O2 Concentrators are important equipment to help save lives of infants, who have breathing difficulties.
At the II Maternity House, 28-30 infants are born every day, and 5-6 infants have certain kinds of trouble and require the use of this equipment.
The hospital has 16 newborn incubators and 4 thermal care devices, each requiring a O2 Concentrator. However, 6 O2 Concentrators were shared for operating these equipments, until the students donated more. We are grateful now that the infants are secured with more access to oxygen, said the head of the neonatal department B.Delgersaikhan MD.
