LogiPlus donates to the Paula Wittenberg Foundation and supports children's emergency aid projects

For 16 years now, foundation founder Lars Wittenberg and his wife have been working to continuously improve emergency medical care for children in the Rhine-Neckar region. The reason for this was the death of their little daughter Paula in 2004 due to bleeding after a tonsil operation. The foundation supports numerous projects, such as the organisation and financing of further training measures for medical staff in order to be prepared for child emergencies. In addition, the foundation also provides specially developed baby and children’s resuscitation manikins for the training of laypersons. Another important project is the financing of special children’s emergency ambulances. This is a fast emergency vehicle with equipment that is primarily geared towards the needs of children.

“We are delighted with the donation from LogiPlus! The funds will be used for our project at Mannheim University Hospital to train emergency doctors and provide a pediatric emergency ambulance. “, beams Lars Wittenberg. “In addition, the Elternkreis Neugeborene e.V., which has been providing intensive care for premature babies at Mannheim University Hospital for a long time, also benefits from this donation. We are therefore doubling the donation again from our side. “, the initiator of the foundation adds happily.

With the pediatric emergency ambulance, Mannheim University Hospital offers a service that is unparalleled in the region. “The area of operation is not limited to Mannheim, the vehicle is also actively used by surrounding hospitals,” says Dr. Julia Reinhard, senior physician at the University Hospital in Mannheim, describing the purpose of the children’s emergency ambulance. “It is used well over 100 times a year in the region and thus makes a significant contribution to providing the best possible care for children in emergencies,” continues Reinhard.
