The hospital bed occupancy was constantly over 100%- which means that health operators almost daily had to care for more people than each ward could accommodate. Unfortunately, the mortality data also confirm this dramatic scenario: mortality amongst children admitted to Pediatrics Ward was the highest registered in the past 14 years. In this dramatic scenario, the pediatric staff has always being operational, ready to welcome and assist all young patients, reserving constant attention and care for the most fragile.
For this reason, today we are even happier to inform you that, overcoming the great difficulties caused by the pandemic, we have managed to complete the renovation works of the Kalongo Pediatrics ward, continuing to guarantee continuity and quality of pediatric care.
A heartfelt thanks to Fondazione Mission Bambini Switzerland, Fondazione 13 Marzo, M&G for the important support and practical help of those who strongly believed in our project and supported it.
The new department already hosts many young patients with their families, in a renovated and child-friendly environment, to guarantee the best possible treatment and a safe and quality workplace for the staff dedicated to children.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to all those who helped us to make it happen![/vc_column_text][divider line_type="No Line" custom_height="50"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" column_margin="default" column_direction="default" column_direction_tablet="default" column_direction_phone="default" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" row_border_radius="none" row_border_radius_applies="bg" overflow="visible" overlay_strength="0.3" gradient_direction="left_to_right" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_tablet="inherit" column_padding_phone="inherit" column_padding_position="all" column_element_spacing="default" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" column_position="default" gradient_direction="left_to_right" overlay_strength="0.3" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" animation_type="default" bg_image_animation="none" border_type="simple" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid"][vc_gallery type="image_grid" images="10166,10162,10160,10158,10156,10151,10149,10147" image_grid_loading="default" layout="4" item_spacing="default" gallery_style="7" load_in_animation="none"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
