The pediatrics department in Sremska Mitrovica hospital is the only one in the Srem region, serving 4,000 out-patient children with about 1,000 hospitalizations every year. Many of the children undergoing treatment are affected with pulmonary disease, or other upper air-way infections. As part of the care provided, they often have to give these children oxygen, which is of vital importance. The department seems to be in pretty good shape, and at the moment they are able to help these children by bringing oxygen bottles from other buildings.
Unfortunately, sometimes the bottle runs out of oxygen, and they have to run to get a new one from elsewhere, putting the children at risk. SAMA funded a project to provide oxygen supply to the reception room of the department. The cost of the project was USD 1291.17.
The project was completed on April 8th.
