The Health Foundation has been upgrading equipment in the maternity ward over the last year. Purchases include items like: fetal heart monitors, infant resuscitation equipment, infant ventilators, new chairs for breastfeeding, infant warmers and bili blankets.
鈥淲e are grateful for the donations our donors made, as that is what allowed the Foundation to upgrade this equipment,鈥� said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. 鈥淭he maternity ward of the hospital is a busy with over 700 babies being born some years.
In the picture you can see the bili blanket being used, by Danielle Wilk and Baby Ivy. The bili blankets allow mom to hold the baby while they are receiving phototherapy, which is better than separating mom and baby and placing the baby under bili lights.
