The United States Embassy to Georgia has donated more than $70,000 worth of medical equipment to the Abastumani Lung Center, which is the only facility in the Caucasus region with pulmonary outpatient treatment capabilities, the Embassy said on Monday.
"The Center plays an important role in preventing chronic pulmonary diseases and in rehabilitating patients. We hope this assistance will help improve care for patients.
The donated equipment includes: a magnetic therapy unit, a simultaneous leg and arm/upper body active-passive training unit, a rehabilitation recumbent bike, a rehabilitation treadmill for the disabled people, a blood gas & electrolyte analyzer, oxygen concentrators with inhalers, and a body temperature infrared thermal gate," the statement of the Embassy reads.
