DTEK's new and modern ventilator and the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation handed over to doctors of the Vinnytsia Regional Clinical Center for AIDS Prevention and Control. High-quality resuscitation equipment will help doctors save the lives of coronavirus patients and will be an indispensable assistant to doctors even after a pandemic.
Today, the fight against coronavirus infection requires a concerted effort - point care is not able to curb the spread of COVID-19. Rinat Akhmetov has pooled the resources of his business, including DTEK, to help the country meet the challenge. Within the framework of the program "Rinat Akhmetov - saving lives" 300 million hryvnias are directed to provide the regions with the most necessary for the fight against coronavirus.
"DTEK is a socially responsible company. Together with the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, we provide assistance to hospitals and medical staff who are at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus. The needs of medical facilities were identified in coordination with the Ministry of Health and regional state administrations. Only by joining forces will Ukraine be able to withstand the epidemic that has engulfed much of the world. On behalf of the company and the Foundation, I want to thank all the doctors of Ukraine who save lives. You are our hope, and for the seriously ill - the only chance to save lives, "said Igor Snegin, Director of DTEK Ladyzhynska TPP.
The only thing that can help in severe cases of COVID-19 - quality medical equipment, including ventilators, which save patients' lives. The ventilators purchased by the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation and DTEK for Ukrainian physicians are high-class resuscitation equipment. Most importantly - they are easy to use and largely eliminate the human factor. Due to this, purchased ventilators can be used immediately after installation in almost any part of Ukraine, which is very important in an epidemic, when life must be saved here and now. At the beginning of the pandemic, ambulance doctors of Vinnytsia region received rapid tests for timely diagnosis.
«Коронавірус став перевіркою для всіх нас і вітчизняного бізнесу зокрема. І багато компаній дійсно допомагають. Корпоративна соціальна відповідальність стала невід’ємною частиною стратегії великих вітчизняних компаній. Серед таких - компанія ДТЕК, яка наразі активно допомагає регіонам у боротьбі з коронавірусом. Я хочу подякувати компанії та Фонду Ріната Ахметова за цю допомогу», - прокоментував голова Вінницької обласної адміністрації Сергій Борзов
Only by uniting the efforts of business, government and the community will Ukraine cope with this challenge and overcome the pandemic.
