Hospital National in Mali receives monitors

The Hospital National DU Point G in Mali is large. Located in the capital city of Bamako, it is the only teaching and referral hospital in Mali. The Intensive Care Unit has 700 beds alone. However, there were only two working cardiac monitors for the whole department. With so many people dying from a lack of care, many patients referred to the intensive care room as "room of death". That changed this year.

With GE's generous donation of 17 new monitors, Assist International installed a fully equipped ICU as well as a new portable X-ray, a new ultrasound, a large supply of medical supplies and four wheelchairs.

The hospital staff was so grateful for this rare donation of NEW equipment that will serve them for many years. Now patients can refer to it as a "room of life".
