As part of the Fight COVID-19 in Ukraine project, DTEK, together with Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, donated three high-end ventilators to Burshtyn central municipal hospital of Burshtyn City Council. This equipment will help doctors save the lives of patients with coronavirus and will also become an indispensable assistant in intensive care units after the end of the pandemic.
“DTEK is a socially responsible company. This is not the first time that Burshtyn municipal hospital has received help from the company and Rinat Akhmetov Foundation. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have received 400 highly-sensitive tests to diagnose COVID-19, 500 individual protector suites, and a ventilator that was installed in July. Today, we’ve received another three new top-of-the-line ventilators. This medical facility provides medical care to the power personnel of Burshtynska TPP and their families. This is why we have to extend our support to help doctors to overcome coronavirus and its consequences. We would like to express our gratitude to doctors who save our lives in these difficult times,” noted Valerii Khomyakov, director of DTEK Burshtynska TPP.
Every time DTEK representatives cooperated with regional state administrations to identify the need for equipment and the list of hospitals.
These ventilators are top-of-the-line. Most importantly, they are easy to use and virtually eliminate human errors. Thanks to these features, the ventilators can be used immediately after the installation at any Ukrainian hospital which is extremely important in the midst of the pandemic when lives have to be saved here and now. Using its artificial intelligence, the device analyzes the patient’s condition and selects the most appropriate oxygen supply mode.
“It is this hi-tech equipment that will help save human lives. Today, it has received a special importance for Burshtyn municipal hospital because two weeks ago, a decision was made that Burshtyn hospital will go to the frontline of the fight against coronavirus. Currently, the necessary documents are being prepared by the National Health Care Service of Ukraine. Once the documents are signed, the hospital will start admitting coronavirus patients. This is why we realize the importance of having the quality equipment,” said the First Deputy Head of Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration Maria Savka.
Since April, DTEK and Rinat Akhmetov Foundation have donated 13,400 express tests to diagnose the virus, 12,000 protective suits, and 19 ventilators. DTEK signed a memorandum on development and support of the Carpathian region back in December of the last year. This support is the most required in the time of the pandemic.
