Modern ECG equipment for Mezőtúr

The Children’s Department at the rural hospital in Mezőtúr, in eastern Hungary has been a beneficiary of assistance from the Robert Burns International Foundation for a few years now, and 2024 was no different.

The department is led by Dr. Ferenc Antal:

Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the Children’s Department of the Mezőtúr Hospital and Clinic and the children of Mezőtúr and its surroundings for the fourth time that the Robert Burns Foundation has supported our department. We are also delighted that you placed your faith in the children’s department of this disadvantaged area once again, contributing to its safe operation.

This year, the RBIF was asked to finance the purchase of new ECG equipment. Small rural hospitals often do not have specialist consultants available, and so they have to seek temporary or permanent solutions locally.

Dr. Antal told us that their ECG equipment was technically outdated and due for replacement.

Thanks to your support, this has now been accomplished, and the new ECG appliance can help our work and patient care at all times, making it more reliable. What is equally worthy of note is that the new device also helps with diagnostics in the case of patients over the age of six, thanks to its built-in artificial intelligence.
