About the 25% of these diseases require optical coherence tomographywhich is not available in the hospital, and only some seriously ill patients can be referred to private providers in the city.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a method that allows obtaining virtual images of the extraordinary perfection of various ocular structures. This allows a degree Completeness and diagnostic certainty, unimaginable until recently. It also makes it possible to carefully follow the development of different conditions based on remarkable objective data, which do not suffer from interdisciplinary observational bias.
The project's target population is: 8,000 – 10,000 adults per year. Budget: $52,920 + VAT 10.5% ≃ $58,500. Amount committed by foreign sponsors: US$8,000. Amount committed by local sponsors: US$13,000.
The amount committed From the Rosario Foundation for Medical Sciences: US$5,000. FDD: 7,000 US dollars. LFR counterpart: $5,500. Amount still to be raised: $20,000.
The Medical Sciences Foundation of the City of Rosario, in collaboration with the Centenario District Hospital, is responsible for Service sustainability Introduction and ongoing Team performance To supply. The hospital has a highly specialized maintenance area which will maintain the equipment.
