The equipment was provided by the German charitable foundation "Blue-Yellow Cross" (Blau-Gelbes Kreuz). This was announced by Nazar Ozeriansky, a cardiac surgeon at the Center and co-founder of the organization "Diia in Ukraine," in a Facebook post, as reported by RBC-Ukraine. ### What the New Equipment Is and Why It Is Needed According to Ozeriansky, the donated equipment will enable the safer transport of both infants and adult patients in critically severe condition. For a cardiovascular surgery center where open-heart operations and complex procedures are performed on a regular basis, the ability to transport patients stably and in a controlled manner between departments, including to intensive care or for diagnostic procedures, is a critically important link in the chain of medical care. "International support is most valuable when it quickly turns into real help for patients. That is exactly what happened today," Ozeriansky emphasized. ### The Role of the "Blue-Yellow Cross" Foundation and Systemic Support for Ukrainian Medicine The German charitable foundation "Blue-Yellow Cross" does not limit itself to one-off deliveries: the organization has been systematically supporting Ukrainian medical institutions throughout the war. The foundation's head, Linda May, who is also the Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Germany, coordinates humanitarian missions aimed primarily at strengthening pediatric and cardiological infrastructure. Recently, as part of one such mission, the foundation delivered aid to intensive care and neonatal resuscitation units in several Ukrainian cities. Thus, the supply of equipment to the Cardiac Center became a logical continuation of an already established program of targeted support. ### Recognition and Further Cooperation In his statement, Nazar Ozeriansky separately thanked Linda May "for the trust and sincere help to Ukraine in the most difficult times," and also expressed gratitude to the Center's director, Georgy Mankovsky, for comprehensive support of the initiative at every stage β€” from agreeing on the equipment specifications to its actual installation. The surgeon expressed hope that the handover of the equipment would not be the final note but the beginning of a long-term partnership: "There are still many joint initiatives ahead that will help save the lives of Ukrainians." ### Context: International Audit and Expansion of Partnerships It is worth noting that the Cardiac Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has recently become a venue for several significant international contacts. Recently, the institution was visited by a delegation from the World Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank, and the Government of Sweden. The specialists inspected the equipment previously delivered to the medical center and assessed its integration into clinical processes. The totality of these events β€” from German humanitarian deliveries to audits by international financial institutions β€” indicates that Ukrainian cardiological infrastructure remains in the focus of foreign partners and receives both operational and strategic support. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [Cardiac Center Receives 2.5 Million UAH in Equipment: It Will Help Safely Transport Patients](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/kardiotsentr-otrimav-obladnannya-2-5-mln-1789134290.html) - Π Π‘Πš-Π£ΠΊΡ€Π°ΠΈΠ½Π° со ссылкой Π½Π° ΠΏΡƒΠ±Π»ΠΈΠΊΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΡŽ Назара ΠžΠ·Π΅Ρ€ΡΠ½ΡΠΊΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Π² Facebook ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ Ρ„Π°ΠΊΡ‚ ΠΏΠ΅Ρ€Π΅Π΄Π°Ρ‡ΠΈ оборудования ΡΡ‚ΠΎΠΈΠΌΠΎΡΡ‚ΡŒΡŽ ΠΎΠΊΠΎΠ»ΠΎ 2,5 ΠΌΠ»Π½ Π³Ρ€Π½ ΠΎΡ‚ Ρ„ΠΎΠ½Π΄Π° Β«Π‘ΠΈΠ½Π΅-ΠΆΠ΅Π»Ρ‚Ρ‹ΠΉ крСст».
