Building B
The Maternity House where 700 children are born every year.
Building B is a two floor house built by bricks. It is
over 100 years old and in very bad condition.
The
building has 30 beds for patients in very small rooms. Delivery rooms and the
operation rooms are in a very bad shape when it comes to the building as well
as equipment. The equipment there is, is antique, broken and/or even dangerous.
About
700-750 children are born at dr Lydia´s maternity hospital every year. Between
60 and 70 per cent of all deliveries are complicated and demand special
treatments. Every tenth child is born immature, which is twice as many as
before 1986. The maternity hospital has got three incubators from LC
Vallentuna, but there is only one respirator and one machine to supervise the
child. The staff every day have to chose who shall live and who shall die
between weak children.
The pregnant women of Novozybkov stay at
the hospital for 3-4 weeks before delivery. The reason is to strengthen their immune system and to prevent their
babies from a too early birth.
