(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 15. The South Korean
government has lent a helping hand by supplying medical equipment
to the Ganja City Integrated Hospital in Azerbaijan, Trend reports.
This initiative is a feather in the cap of the ongoing fruitful
and long-lasting partnership between the State Agency on Mandatory
Health Insurance of Azerbaijan and the government of South
Korea.
Zaur Aliyev, chairman of the agency, said at an event aimed at
shining a light on how these projects play a pivotal role in
bolstering Azerbaijan's healthcare system.
"The project's major objective is to improve the accessibility
and quality of medical services in our nation. This equipment will
guarantee the provision of high-quality and contemporary medical
services inside the compulsory health insurance system," he pointed
out.
Another speaker, Chairman of the Azerbaijani Administration of
the Regional Medical Divisions (TABIB) Vugar Gurbanov underlined
that substantial projects are being performed in Azerbaijan as part
of the relationship with South Korea to develop the professional
capabilities of healthcare personnel and provide medical
equipment.
"This cooperation contributes significantly to the sustainable
development of the healthcare system and the protection of the
health of Azerbaijani citizens," he said.
The South Korean Ambassador Lee In-Yong highlighted that modern
medical equipment is essential for treating cardiovascular
diseases.
According to him, the embassy, in collaboration with the agency,
is implementing this project to support the provision of effective
medical services related to cardiovascular diseases.
Director of the Ganja City Integrated Hospital Ilkin Ismayilov
expressed gratitude for the support received.
The supplied equipment includes a defibrillator, anesthesia
machine, ventilator, patient monitor, surgical lamp, operating
table, electrosurgical unit, surgical aspirator, instrument set,
and infusion system.
The intensive care unit also had intensive care beds, patient
monitors, a resuscitation ventilator, a defibrillator, suction
apparatus, and a pediatric ultrasound device.
Treating patients at high risk of fatal outcomes requires the
use of crucial equipment in the intensive care and resuscitation
departments. The South Korean government provides medical equipment
totaling $500,000.
To note, this initiative is not the first assistance from the
South Korean government to Azerbaijan. In previous years, the
government provided medical equipment to protect maternal and child
health in state medical institutions under TABIB, as well as kiosks
for medical examinations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
