  • Atom incubator with Fabian ventilator 
  • Mobile stand for non-invasive newborns respiratory support 
  • Ophthalmology IRIS Medical diode laser with a carry case

Honouring the GOCC stands also for the gratitude for the 30-year-long tradition of activism and carrying help by the Foundation and all the volunteers acting in its ranks. The localization of the Square, in the direct neighbourhood of the new Greater Poland Children's Health Centre at ul. Adama Wrzoska, perfectly matches the profile of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.

 

We have purchased PLN 3,828,827.81 worth of 1,443 medical devices for the Greater Poland Children's Health Hospital.
