Turkey and Syria were rocked by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in February, which killed over 50,000 people.
The donation from the hospital, including machines, all consumables and spare parts are being delivered as part of a coordinated response from the HSE Global Health Programme, Strategy and Research group.
John Adlington, Principal Clinical Engineering Technician at the Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore says:
'The Hospital has an ongoing medical device equipment replacement programme in line with manufacturers and HSE requirements and guidelines.
The machines that are being donated have been in use within the Renal Dialysis departments for the last 10 years and have been fully maintained to a very high standard by the Clinical Engineering Technicians.
It is good to know that they will continue to treat acute patients requiring dialysis.'
