In 27 litauischen Spitälern fördert die Schweiz die Weiterbildung des Gesundheitspersonals und die Modernisierung veralteter Spitalinfrastrukturen. Ergänzend dazu wird in mindestens 24 dieser Spitäler die Energieeffizienz erhöht. Dadurch werden die Rahmenbedingungen für gebärende Frauen und Neugeborene stark verbessert.

Hintergrund

Birth rate in Lithuania has been decreasing since 1992. In 2006 it was reported at 9.2 per 1’000 inhabitants (one of the lowest in the EU), but the rate of infant mortality was 6.84 deaths per 1’000 live births. Perinatal mortality - 7.26 deaths per 1’000 live births - and the neonatal mortality rate stood at 3.92 per 1’000 live births. These rates are well above EU average rates, which are 5.06, 6.16 and 3.33 accordingly. Most of infants (37 %) died from diseases that emerged during the perinatal period while 34 % died from congenital defects. Therefore, the National Health Programme of Lithuania requires that special attention must be given to the reduction of the infant mortality rate. The measures envisaged by this Programme will contribute towards achieving the level of health related indicators reported by EU 15 countries.

Ziele

The overall objective of the Programme is to meet the World Health Organisation’s recommendations, EU directives and international standards regarding neonatal and perinatal health care services in Lithuania.

Specific objectives are to reach:

  • Pregnant women and maternal mortality rate down to 5.36 (per 1000 live births), neonatal mortality rate down to 2.63.
  • 20’000 delivering women have access to upgraded quality services.
  • Improved patients’ satisfaction with conditions in hospital

 

Zielgruppen

 

  • Medical staff working in perinatal and neonatal sectors
  • Pregnant women
  • Delivering women
  • Neonates and Infants

 

 

 

Aktivitäten
  • Medical equipment will be improved in 22 hospitals.
  • Special transport vehicles for newborns are being provided for three hospitals located in isolated areas.
  • Specialists are being trained in the use of modern technologies.
