The Children’s Clinical University Hospital in Riga, Latvia, is the primary healthcare facility for children in the region. It serves over 30,000 kids who stay in the hospital and assists more than 160,000 who come for appointments each year. Currently, the hospital lacks some essential diagnostic equipment needed to fully service the families in Riga and interpret medical data accurately. This hampers their ability to provide the best care to the kids.
The hospital specializes in polysomnography, a critical service
for kids with epilepsy and serious conditions. Teaming up with The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the hospital is set to receive two
child-friendly polysomnography units with accessories – equipment that is
urgently needed. Additionally, the Church is supporting the hospital in
acquiring special infant hearing testing equipment, crucial for checking
infants' hearing. As this equipment is not available anywhere else in Latvia,
the Church's assistance holds significant importance for improving healthcare
for babies in the area.
This collaboration reflects a joint effort by the Church and the hospital to enhance healthcare for children in Latvia, making a substantial impact on their lives.
