“Zaporizhstal” Steel Works allocated 3 million UAH for renovation of the infectious-box ward of the 5th child health clinic.
The ward has not been renovated for over 20 years, and its renovation became possible owing to initiative of the member of the Ukrainian Parliament Yevgeniy Kartashov and financial assistance of the Works, who responded to the request of the medical institution administration.
– “Zaporizhstal” is a socially responsible enterprise, – points out the Director on engineering of the Works Volodymyr Buryak. – The Works invests money into the future, and children are our future, their health must be of the topmost importance. Conditions, which will be created in the ward after its renovation, is a contribution of the Works “Zaporizhstal” into the future of our country.
According to Olena Tokar, head physician of the 5th child health clinic, children at the age from one month to three years with respiratory disease and with serious central nervous system disease are being treated in the infectious-box ward, which is designed for 45 people.
– The ward has reached a poor sanitary condition, – says Olena Tokar. – We addressed this problem to the member of the Ukrainian Parliament Yevgeniy Kartashov. He responded at once and together with the “Social Inititatives of Zaporizhzhya” and the General Director of “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works Rostyslav Shurma the matter of financing was solved. We hope that renovation will be done by the heating season and our children will be able to receive good medical care in comfortable conditions. At the moment the direct care has not been disturbed. Appropriate conditions for our little patients have been created in other wards.
