On the event of handing over incubators today, the future plans within newly founded Foundation "Battle for the Babies" have been discussed. The Foundation will, with the assistance of the management of the Institute for Neonatology, try to realize those plans which include the reconstruction of the intensive care unit, as well as reconstruction of the ceiling and attic premises along with constructing an outdoor elevator. B92 Fund President Veran Matic and the representatives of donors had toured the intensive care unit which will be equipped with the modern up-to-date Caleo incubators with the possibility of self-purification.

Primary goal of the "Battle for the Babies" was to raise funds for the purchase of the 100 new incubators for the needs of the youngest and most vulnerable fellow citizens. Today, precisely 100 days after its launch, we provided funds for total number of 179 incubators, or on average little less than two incubators per day. The data itself presents a kind of record, bearing in mind that health workers in Serbia had been so far working with the incubators that were more than 30 years old. The success of the "Battle for the Babies" campaign has showed that it is possible to direct entire society in a positive way. Delivery of incubators as a part of the “Battle for the Babies" campaign will be continued as new contingents of incubators reach Serbia.
