The project “Breathe life” is oriented towards providing help to the intensive care units of children hospitals in Kazakhstan.
It was launched in 2007 when “AYALA” foundation assisted with providing medical equipment to the intensive care unit of children city infection hospital of Almaty. Artificial lung ventilation apparatus, semi-automatic laboratory, phototherapy machine, humid crib for infant children and other medical equipment was supplied to this hospital unit.
This project has proved its efficiency by rescuing dozens of infants’ lives. With the help of the equipment that was provided by “AYALA” foundation to the intensive care unit of the children city infection hospital #1 the death rate at hospital has decreased in 4 times.
In 2011 it was decided to expand the limits of the launched project outside the boundaries of the South capital. At present time the foundation has received a great number of letters asking for help from children hospitals and intensive care units of maternity hospitals. It is necessary to visit all cities of Kazakhstan to evaluate objectively the situation connected with the provision of equipment to these institutions. Therefore, the data about needs of these hospitals will appear later.
