The children hospital, Dr. Jorge Lizarraga, located in Venezuela serves children whose second cause of morbidity and mortality constitutes respiratory illnesses. Our proposal consists of endowing the hospital with all the implements necessary to determine a child's pulmonary function, among which we have: a spirometer, plethysmograph, and oscillometer, a fenobreath, an ecography machine. With your help, we can provide a better quality of life to more than 130 children monthly.
The children hospital, Dr. Jorge Lizarraga, located in Valencia, Venezuela is equipped with 200 beds and serves children whose second cause of morbidity and mortality constitutes respiratory illnesses. The Pulmonology department currently employs highly qualified personnel that includes professionals with graduate studies in Pediatric Pulmonology, a physical space devoted to pulmonary function testing, but it lacks the equipment necessary to detect and diagnose the different pathologies.
Having the right equipment is crucial in assessing the severity of the respiratory illness, and determining in an objective manner the patient's response to treatment. Appropriate testing, specifically to determine the pulmonary function, will equip the physician with the necessary information to promptly and accurately diagnose the various respiratory illnesses, resulting in early therapeutic action that prevents or minimizes unfavorable outcomes.
As we fulfill our goal of creating this specialized laboratory with your help, we can provide in a direct an effective manner a better quality of life to more than 130 children monthly, giving a ray of hope to those who suffer from chronic respiratory illnesses.
