Ventilator
$75,000

A piece of medical technology that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently.
Vital Signs Monitors (x5)
$5,000
Equipment Description
Vital signs monitors are used to display patient information and read basic medical indicators, such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation levels at precise intervals.
Handheld Pulse Oximeter
$1,000
Equipment Description
Pulse Oximeters deliver accurate and reliable readings for heart rates and oxygen levels. These must-have machines are widely used in a hospital setting for continuous monitoring, spot checks, walk tests, and patient transport.
Throughout my decades of practicing medicine, I have seen many changes in technology, and I must stress that our current equipment is outdated and many are beyond their life expectancies.
It’s crucially important that we raise funds to purchase new and upgraded equipment so that our ICU, as well as so many other departments in the hospital, are well-equipped to support every person that seeks medical care in our hospital.
