Spouse of the President Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová visited on 8 December 2011 the 1st Intern SZU and UNB Clinic of Dionýz Dieška in the Academician Ladislav Dérer Hospital in Bratislava. During the visit the Slovak First Lady officially handed over four special adjustable beds from the Slovak Foundation of Silvia Gašparovičová – Education and Health for Everybody. As Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová said, "I firmly believe that these adjustable beds improve comfort of patients."
Deputy Director of the University Hospital Bratislava (UNB) for the Academician L. Dérer Hospital Mr. Tomáš Heger pointed out that "sponsorship is a huge benefit to health care."
Head of the Department Mr. Štefan Hrušovský approached the purpose of donated beds. "Three adjustable beds will be used to outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Position of the patient in the new bed during an infusion may be changed by armrests and pads from supine horizontal position to a comfortable seating position with legs lifting differently. This is necessary especially for lengthy infusions."
First Vice-Rector of the Slovak Medical University in Bratislava (SZU) Mr. Peter Šimko, who is a co-founder of the clinic, said that "this clinic is a SZU teaching base and it is important to give our medical students and all doctors who have trainings in internal medicine the possibility to see the latest technology options."
At the department of internal medicine patients with internal diseases are supervised by different clinic specialists: internists, hepatologist, gastroenterologist, nephrologist, endocrinologist, oncohaematologist, clinical immunologist-allergologist, rheumatologist, or clinical pharmacologist.
At two intensive care units of the 1st Intern Clinic of Dionýz Dieška patients at risk of life are monitored and treated. At one of them – at the Intensive Hepatologic and Metabolic Care Unit – thanks to the gift of the Slovak Foundation of Silvia Gašparovičová – Education and Health for Everybody already for several years is an elimination saving treatment at patients with liver failure (the so called liver dialysis) performed. Also the today´s present donored here – a special adjustable bed – helps patients to bear easier in complicated liver dialysis procedure, which lasts up to 8 or 10 hours. |
