Two weeks after the girl’s mother approached a field hospital near the Ukrainian-Polish border, doctors in Israel treated Karina Andreiko with the catheterization expected to allow her to live a normal life
Five-year-old Karina Andreiko wasn’t hurt in the war in Ukraine. In some ways, she was saved because of it.
“I am happy that I came to Israel for my child to have an operation here,” said Karina’s mother, Iryna Andreiko. “On the one hand, I am very worried about her, but I think everything will be fine.” With Karina’s father fighting in the war, Karina’s mother turned for help to Sheba Medical Center’s “Shining Star” field hospital near the family’s home in Hostyntseve. The central idea of the hospital, now closed, had been to treat civilian victims of Russian attacks.
In the past, the condition would have been treated by open heart surgery, said Dr. Alona Raucher Sternfeld, head of pediatric cardiology at Wolfson.
