Included in the donation are patient monitors and handheld and stationary ultrasound devices, according to a news release. GE Healthcare said Ukraine can use its monitoring technology for monitoring vital signs at bedside in the general ward and ICUs. Ultrasound devices can cover various clinical uses, including emergency care, obstetrics, and gynecology. Ukrainians can use them both inside and outside the hospital. GE’s efforts to aid Ukraine The company’s latest donation adds to a $4 million equipment donation made in March 2022.
