UABDP distributed fax-machines among the Rivne Oblast delivery facilities
The Ukrainian American Birth Defects Program (UABDP) expanded its birth defects surveillance and monitoring capacity in Ukraine by expanding its communications network to maternity hospitals in Rivne and Lutsk oblasts where monitoring is conducted as well as some medical libraries in those regions.
On March 19, 2003 a ceremony for the Rivne oblast took place at the Rivne OMNI Resource Center. Fifteen fax machines were distributed to the chief obstetricians, gynecologists from rayons (districts) and heads of perinatal departments of maternity hospitals for dedicated use for transmission of data and information.
