Giving Tuesday

November 29th

This year, our Giving Tuesday fundraiser focuses on the dire need for emergency equipment for a hospital in Tehran, Iran.

The hospital we aim to support through this fundraiser is:

Shohadaye Gomnam Specialty & Subspecialty Hospital, Tehran City

Demographics:
-Number of beds in hospital: 77
-Number of personnel: 225
-Hospital capacity to admit inpatients: 100

GOAL: $9,075

The Equipment Needed

  1. Operating Room Warming System – used to keep patients’ blood and other body fluids warm during surgeries. This warming system can be used when there is not enough time to warm blood and other fluids.
  2. Vital Signs Monitor – used to measure patients’ vital signs, check blood pressure and heart rate.
  3. Pneumatic Ventilator – an emergency portable procedure using oxygen gas pressure to provide ventilation and oxygen to the patients.

Background information

Shohadaye Gomnam Specialty & Subspecialty Hospital opened in 2017. It has professional physicians that are supervised by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. As it is located in district 15 of Tehran (south of Tehran), many patients from Southern Tehran go there to get treated; the majority of the patients are impoverished. The hospital requires an Operating Room Warming System, a Vital Signs Monitor and a Pneumatic Ventilator to be used in the operating room, emergency department, and GICU. They currently do not have this equipment and need our help to get the necessary materials they need for the patients they are treating.
