Split Tourist Board Donating Oxygen Therapy Devices to Split Hospital

November 26, 2020 – The Split Tourist Board is reallocating funds from the Advent ice skating rink to donate five new devices for high oxygen therapy to the Split hospital. 

Dalmatinski Portal reports that human lives and love for others are the foundation of this year’s Split Advent, as is evidenced by the decision to purchase five new devices for high oxygen therapy AIRVO 2 for the Split Clinical Hospital Center (Split KBC). 

At the session of the Split Tourist Board, headed by President Andro Krstulović Opara, a decision was made to reallocate money intended for the Advent ice skating rink in Đardin – Josip Juraj Strossmayer Park to help the hospital treat the most severe forms of the SARS-CoV-19 virus. The use of the AIRVO 2 device avoids invasive mechanical ventilation and enables more successful treatment and respiratory failure due to infection, with easier involvement of medical staff.

“In agreement with the director of the Split Clinical Hospital Center, Julija Meštrović, we decided to buy this valuable device, and given the growing numbers and occupancy of hospitals throughout Croatia, we believe that this is more than necessary. We believe that our citizens will also support this initiative, as well as that they will recognize the importance of responsible behavior throughout the Advent period. We certainly continue to monitor the epidemiological situation in the same way and make daily decisions about the program with regard to new data,” said the director of the Split Tourist Board, Alijana Vukšić.

Each new device can mean a saved life, and this donation confirms the point of this year’s Advent with the slogan ‘Love unites us’ which emphasizes love as an emotion that encourages us to look after each other to celebrate many more Christmas holidays together.
