It is important for us that within the framework of the "Peace without Tears" action, medical institutions receive exactly the equipment that they themselves choose and which they need most. I want to thank the representatives of VTB Bank for their contribution to our common cause, for their help in organizing assistance to our children at a higher level, "Tatyana Chernyakova stressed. The treatment for the new electrosurgical apparatus will now be available to children in Kaluga, during the press conference was told by Victor Mikhailov, chief doctor of the Kaluga Regional Clinical Children's Hospital: "The last modernization of our surgical service was carried out 5 years ago. Therefore, surgeons needed just such a modern medical technique that allows you to make a cut with an electric shock with minimal loss of blood, which is especially important for young patients. I admit that this electrosurgical apparatus was just being tested in our hospital, and we know all its pluses well. This is the latest model from Germany, which is not yet available in Kaluga hospitals. The device is able to recognize any connected tool, whether it's a scalpel or tweezers. In addition, it is possible to purchase and connect additional Russian equipment, which significantly increases its efficiency. Now our surgeons can perform the most complex and delicate procedures: brain tumor surgery, orthopedic and open surgical operations. "A photo: archive of press services Alexander Erofeev, head of the department of sponsorship and client events - vice-president of VTB Bank, told us about the action: "For already 15 years we have been helping children's hospitals from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok in purchasing the necessary medical equipment. This year VTB allocated more than 40 million rubles for financial assistance to healthcare institutions. In Kaluga, "The World without tears" comes for the first time - in order to help the small patients of the Kaluga regional clinical children's hospital to get better soon. We hope that we will continue to cooperate in the field of supporting healthcare, because VTB's social policy is an integral part of the Bank's development strategy. "On this day, the gift was traditionally received not only by the hospital, but by all small patients. On the holiday, the characters of the legendary telecast "Good Night, Kids!" Came to the children. Together with Fili, Stepashka and their senior comrade - the deserved artist of Russia Natalia Golubentseva - the guys went in search of treasure. Children were waiting for incredible tricks from the famous Mad Hatter, ingenious riddles and fun contests. After the treasured chest was opened, each kid received as a gift a personal "chest" with a set for drawing.1/3Photo: press service archivePhoto:archive of press servicesPhoto: archive of press servicesInformation background:In 2018, the World Without Tears campaign of the VTB Bank charity program will be held in 21 cities in Russia.
