A child’s letter touched the neonatologists at ‘Mama and I’

Neonatology department is a trademark for quality care

“To Dr. Hristov. Thank you for helping Radi! From Marina.” This short but loving message touched the neonatologists at Mama and I’ in Pleven. Eight-year-old Marina has found her own way to thank the rescuers of her baby brother, Radi, who was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe polyorgan failure from another small hospital in Northwest Bulgaria.

Currently, the neonatology ward of the only maternal and child health clinic of its kind ‘ Mama and I’ is overflowing with young patients. There are 21 children in intensive care alone. They are newborns from all over Northern Bulgaria who need observation, instrumental monitoring and intensive treatment. A team from the ward is ready at any moment to take the special resuscitation vehicle, equipped with a transport couch with respirator, to the next newborn child at risk, in the North East or North West, to be transported to our ward in time. With these words we are greeted by Dr. Andrey Hristov, head of the neonatology department.
