Metinvest Group of Rinat Akhmetov and Vadim Novinsky donated 1,610 medical kits to four Zaporizhia medical institutions, allocating about UAH 700,000 to purchase vitally important medicines.
Metinvest Group has launched a real humanitarian front amidst the challenges faced by Ukraine. "Now we do not produce metal, but we are not sitting idle at such a difficult time for all of us and our Ukraine," noted Olexandr Myronenko, Head of the Metinvest Humanitarian Mission Coordination Center in Zaporizhia and General Director of Zaporizhstal of Metinvest Group. "We collect and transport humanitarian aid to Ukrainians, organize shelter for internally displaced people, and help hospitals in Zaporizhia with first-aid medicine to save lives. All our forces and possibilities are focused on supporting each other and Ukraine."
On March 17, 2022, four city hospitals in Zaporizhia received kits with medicines aimed at completing operating rooms, dressing rooms, and manipulation rooms. The medical kits contain the most essential medicines and supplies, including surgical instruments, intubation equipment, antibiotics, painkillers, solutions for intravenous infusion, hemostatics, anticoagulants, and personal protective equipment for doctors. The composition of the medical kits was determined in coordination with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine according to the needs of local medical facilities.
It’s worth noting that on March 11, Metinvest Youth volunteers also handed over medicines for women and babies recently moved to the Zaporizhia maternity hospital. The medical kits contained medications for intensive care, intravenous systems and catheters, and other items.
