COVID-19 patients safer thanks to the Pocztowy Dar Foundation
Two hospitals that received financial assistance from the "Pocztowy Dar" Foundation – University Hospital No. 2 named after Dr. Jan Biziel in Bydgoszcz and the Healthcare Complex in Chełmno – have purchased highly specialized medical equipment, used, among other things, in the fight against COVID-19. An ultrasound machine with a needle navigation system, high-flow nasal oxygen therapy devices, and cardiac monitors with accessories, marked with the "Pocztowy Dar" Foundation logo, are already providing assistance to patients in need. The devices will also aid in the treatment and diagnosis of many other serious illnesses.
The "Pocztowy Dar" Foundation donated PLN 100,000 to University Hospital No. 2 named after Dr. Jan Biziel in Bydgoszcz. The funds were used to purchase an ultrasound machine with a needle navigation system and two high-flow nasal oxygen therapy devices.
The "Pocztowy Dar" Foundation donated PLN 50,000 to the Healthcare Complex in Chełmno. The funds were used to purchase cardiac monitors for the hospital's COVID-19 ward.
As a reminder, last year the "Pocztowy Dar" Foundation also purchased specialized medical equipment, a so-called immunological analyzer, which was donated to the Regional Center for Blood Donation and Blood Treatment in Białystok. The Foundation's support also went to other medical institutions in Poland: the District Hospital in Ryki, the Provincial Specialist Hospital named after: Blessed Virgin Mary in Częstochowa, the Zagłębie Oncology Center - Specialist Hospital named after Sz. Starkiewicz in Dąbrowa Górnicza, the Provincial Multi-Specialty Center for Oncology and Traumatology named after M. Copernicus in Łódź, the Józef Polikarp Brudziński University Clinical Hospital in Warsaw, the Independent Public Healthcare Facility named after Dr. Kazimierz Hołoga in Nowy Tomyśl, and the Independent Public Healthcare Complex - District Hospital named after the Polish Red Cross in Nisko.
The funds donated were allocated to purchase items such as infusion and feeding pumps, laboratory equipment for coronavirus analysis, a defibrillator for ambulance equipment, a patient isolation chamber drive system, and personal protective equipment for medical staff and patients. The funds to support hospitals come from earmarked funds from entities within the Poczta Polska Group and individual donors to the Pocztowy Dar Foundation who have expressed their intention to do so.
