The value of the ambulance and medical equipment is approx. 700 1000 PLN.

We are highly grateful for the transfer of this highly specialized neonatal ambulance to our hospital. We have a very good squad of neonatal specialists – doctors and nurses, what we deficiency is an ambulance adapted for the transport of newborns, including premature infants. Especially since we are seeing an expanding number of premature births due to the stress of war. Thanks to this neonatal ambulance we will supply safe transport to newborns throughout the Ivano-Frankiv region.

Irresponsible for Ukraine
The container ambulance of the Irresponsible Foundation, which was transferred to the Circuit Clinical Children's infirmary in Ivano Frankivsk, is One of 4 ambulances purchased by the Irresponsible Foundation since the outbreak of the war. 3 ambulances went to the medical squad of Humanosh Med Evacuation, which since March 2022 organized transports of patients from hospitals in Lviv and Kiev to the Medical Hub of Rzeszów-Jesiek, and from there to hospitals in Poland and abroad. Humanosh Med Evacuation squad transported nearly 3,500 patients in total. The Foundation's 4th ambulance was delivered to a military medical unit in Kharkov, where medics give first aid to injured soldiers. It's inactive for today.
Now that the Ukrainian side is increasingly taking up evacuation and medical assistance tasks from aid organisations, we decided to hand over the first container ambulance purchased by us free of charge to the Ivano Frankowsk Oblast Children's Hospital. We make efforts to guarantee that all vehicle and medical equipment we buy with the support of the Donors goes to the place where it will be utilized in the best possible way. erstwhile again, we thank our partners, who helped us finance the acquisition of this ambulance and respirator, as well as the Neonatus Foundation and Kroban company for handing over the incubator. Together we created a specialized neonatal ambulance, which will now save the lives of the youngest citizens of Ukraine.
