RBIF donations used daily by patients and medical staff in Vác
Following a first and successful donation in 2023 for the Jávorszky Ödön Hospital in the city of Vác, just north of Budapest, the Foundation Board of the RBIF decided to continue its support of this health-care institution that performs vital work in the region.
Dr. Ila Veronika, chief physician and head of the paediatric department, was delighted upon hearing news of the next round of assistance funded by the guests and sponsors of the Burns Supper, and soon came back to us with their wish-list.
In 2024 the children’s ward of the hospital in Vác received two high-quality beds and two very accurate and reliable scales, significantly improving the level of care offered to newborns and young children.
The beds are comfortable and easy to use, thereby helping patients recover more quickly. The nurses, for their part, find the beds very easy to clean and maintain, which is not an insignificant consideration. – explained Dr, Veronika Ila.
The scales purchased by the Robert Burns International Foundation from the 2024 donations are extremely accurate and are crucial for measuring the volume of breast-feeding in newborn babies.
According to Dr. Ila,
these scales allow even the smallest changes in weight to be reliably monitored, whether it’s a loss of fluid or the amount of breast milk taken, these volumes cannot be measured in any other way.
Such equipment is essential for tracking crucial changes in the health of newborns, adding that these donations directly contribute to improving daily operations at the hospital. The RBIF’s continued focus on providing practical, life-saving tools has strengthened its relationship with the hospital, ensuring a brighter future for paediatric care in the Vác region.
The equipment and furniture financed by donations from the RBIF are used by the patients and the medical staff in the children’s ward every day, helping to make a real difference to the quality of care.
