Two medical institutions in Atyrau have received nine pieces of modern equipment to provide emergency care for newborn babies and children. The Regional Children’s Hospital received two SV600 ventilators and five patient monitors, while Atyrau City Maternity Hospital received an SV800 ventilator and an anaesthesia machine with ventilatory support. Doctors are already using the new equipment to help save children’s lives and protect their health.

The equipment was donated through the Let’s Breathe Life project, implemented by AYALA Charity Foundation with the support of Tengizchevroil LLP. The project equips public perinatal centres, maternity hospitals and children’s hospitals with modern technology, supporting Kazakhstan’s efforts to reduce infant mortality and disabilities arising at birth.

“Supporting projects that advance children’s healthcare is an integral part of our social investment in the Atyrau Region. We recognise how important it is for medical institutions to have modern equipment that enables doctors to provide timely care for newborn babies and children. That is why we continue to support public healthcare institutions in the region in partnership with AYALA Charity Foundation, with the aim of delivering lasting, positive outcomes for everyone living here,” said Nurmukhamed Kartabayev, General Manager for Government and Public Affairs at Tengizchevroil LLP.

Atyrau City Maternity Hospital has operated since 2009 and, since 2019, has provided Level III perinatal care to pregnant women, women in labour and newborn babies requiring specialised treatment, intensive care and continuous monitoring. The new equipment expands the hospital’s technical capacity to develop surgical care for newborns.

“The new ventilator and anaesthesia machine enable us to begin intensive treatment, stabilise a baby’s condition and provide anaesthetic support for surgical procedures in the first hours of life. We thank AYALA Charity Foundation and Tengizchevroil for supporting this new area of emergency surgical care at our maternity hospital,” said Serikbek Turebayev, Chief Physician of Atyrau City Maternity Hospital.

Atyrau Regional Children’s Hospital provides medical care for children from their first days of life up to the age of 18. Its patients include newborns who need emergency surgery. Their condition can change rapidly, making continuous monitoring of vital signs particularly important. The two ventilators and five patient monitors donated to the hospital are already in use.

“Every day, critically ill children are admitted to our intensive care unit. Doctors therefore need accurate, continuous monitoring of vital signs. A child’s chances of survival depend on the reliability of the information and how quickly our specialists respond. The new patient monitors allow us to detect even the slightest change in a patient’s condition and provide emergency treatment without delay, including through connection to the modern SV600 ventilators. AYALA Charity Foundation and Tengizchevroil have given us invaluable support. This equipment provides our intensive care unit with the resources needed to care for even the most critically ill patients. It means we will be able to save more children,” said Almira Sabyrgaliyeva, Director of Atyrau Regional Children’s Hospital.

AYALA Charity Foundation has implemented the nationwide Let’s Breathe Life project since 2007, including in the Atyrau Region since 2011. During that time, the Regional Perinatal Centre, City Maternity Hospital and Regional Children’s Hospital have received more than 100 pieces of intensive care and diagnostic equipment.

“Tengizchevroil’s support makes an enormous contribution to the development of neonatal care in the Atyrau Region. By systematically equipping medical institutions, we give doctors new opportunities to perform highly complex operations, save newborn babies and introduce modern diagnostic technologies that help prevent disabilities arising at birth. One of the most important aspects of Let’s Breathe Life is its long-term impact: the donated medical equipment will serve doctors for at least five years. I thank our valued partner, Tengizchevroil, for setting an example of effective social investment for the benefit of future generations in Kazakhstan,” said Aidan Suleimenova, Founder and President of AYALA Charity Foundation.
