SAMA donated an ultrasound system to the Vrbas Health Center “Veljko Vlahović” in July 2015. We met with the director of pediatrics, Dr. Julija Čurović-Škorić, her colleagues and staff. The ultrasound device is being used daily for the evaluation of babies and children’s hips and abdomen. This ultrasound replaced their 30 year old device. They would like to use this ultrasound system for further evaluation of children’s chest and head, but they would need more education.
A brand new, Mindray Z5 Ultrasound System was delivered to the Pediatrics Department at the Health Center in Vrbas.
The health Center in Vrbas serves about 300 children of all ages daily, and the diagnostic capabilities of this ultrasound system greatly helped in improving quality of their care. This new ultrasound system is already being put to full use having replaced a 30-year-old Siemens system. Please read update letter for further information.
