In Karaganda, the lives of Amir and Ademi were saved by doctors from the oblast Clinical Hospital using hypothermia equipment. We installed it there in May thanks to the support of the Samruk-Kazyna Trust Social Projects Development Foundation.

Ryspek Saltanat from Balkhash cannot recall the birth of his daughter without tears. Ademi was born with severe hypoxia — oxygen starvation. The child swallowed amniotic fluid and could not breathe on his own. Then events developed like in a movie and the very next day Ademi was taken by plane to Karaganda.

“She didn’t move, nor open her eyes Ademi was connected to a hypothermia machine in the intensive care unit. A week later I came to Karaganda myself; before, the doctors at the Balkhash maternity hospital wouldn’t let me go,” says Saltanat. “And after another week, my Ademi was able to move and breathe on her own.” Now everything is fine with her and she is at home with her mother.

A similar story happened with Zhantore Zhansaule’s son, little Amir. The child was lying connected to a hypothermia unit and to artificial ventilation.

“While still in intensive care, I was allowed to care for Amir. I changed his diapers, looked at him for hours, saw how he, so tiny, lay on the machine. I was afraid, because I had only seen such units in movies before. Once I went into the intensive care unit and the unit was turned off. I rushed to the nurse, cry and tell them: “You probably forgot about my son!?” And they answer me that everything is fine with him! I am so grateful to the doctors, nurses and those who bought and donated equipment to save our babies,” Amira’s mother told us.

We wish all babies, their parents and doctors the best health! Let there be more of such wonderful news!
