“In neonatal intensive care, the diagnoses may change rapidly. There are many reasons for that, and therefore, the speed of initial stabilisation and treatment depend on quick diagnostics, which may save lives,” said Dr. Pille Andresson, the Head of the East Tallinn Central Hospital neonatology department, adding that they have been dreaming of the ultrasound machine for a long time.

In response to the growing spread of viral diseases, face masks are now mandatory for all patients, their escorts or any other visitors entering the hospital for planned or emergency care. Visitors must wear a mask for the duration of their stay in the hospital, including when meeting with a loved one.

The purpose of the World Prematurity Day on 17 November is to bring attention to families with premature babies and their concerns, support networks and their ability to cope in everyday life. The neonatology department of the Women’s Clinic of East Tallinn Central Hospital organised a special day for the mothers of premature babies and invited politicians to a round table discussion to raise awareness of problems and find solutions.

The remodelled Centre of Emergency Medicine at East Tallinn Central Hospital was opened today, on 14 July. The Centre of Radiology, which plays an important role in providing fast and comfortable services to patients coming to the hospital with traumatic injuries, was also renovated.
