About the campaign

Let's help keep our children healthy

Republican project of "AYALA" fund to equip resuscitation departments of children's hospitals in Kazakhstan with vital equipment. It started in 2007 and over 14 years has covered 36 cities and settlements and 66 medical institutions.

Thanks to the collected funds, tens of thousands of children's lives were saved in Kazakhstan and hundreds of Kazakhstani doctors took advanced training courses.

The lamp of phototherapy helps to cure jaundice of newborns, preserving their health and intellect.

Jaundice of newborns is an increase in the level of toxic bilirubin, which leads to serious damage to the central nervous system. It manifests itself in the form of yellowing of the skin and eyeball in a newborn or a baby in the first months of life.

The phototherapy lamp is a special light of high intensity in the blue-green radiation spectrum and is completely harmless to the baby's body.

Powerful light changes the shape and structure of indirect bilirubin molecules in such a way that it becomes water-soluble and begins to be excreted with feces and urine.

The lifetime limit of the phototherapy lamp is from 1000 to 2000 hours. After that, it must be replaced. Therefore, the need for such lamps in maternity hospitals is always very high.

The phototherapy machine will be given to the Center for Perinatology and Pediatric Cardiosurgery in Almaty.
