On April 29, FUIB, in partnership with the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, handed over 8,000 sets of personal protective gear to hospitals in the Chernivtsi region. Protective overalls were received by doctors from nineteen clinics working with COVID-19 coronavirus patients. Among them are four reference hospitals in Chernivtsi: Regional Communal Non-commercial Enterprise "Chernivtsi Regional Clinical Hospital", Regional Communal Non-commercial Enterprise "Chernivtsi Regional Pediatric Clinical Hospital", Regional Communal Non-commercial Enterprise "Chernivtsi Regional Clinical Center for Emergency and Disaster Medicine", Communal Non-commercial Enterprise "City Hospital No. 1."

On April 10, FUIB together with the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation handed over the first batch of 8,000 sets of personal protective equipment to hospitals in Lviv and on April 16, to hospitals of the Ivano-Frankivsk region.

We would like to remind you that Rinat Akhmetov has allocated 300 million UAH for the fight against COVID-19. For this purpose, he has combined all resources - the resources of the Charitable Foundation, FC Shakhtar, FUIB, DTEK, Metinvest, and other SCM assets - in order to help Ukraine. 300,000 coronavirus rapid tests, specialized protective equipment for doctors, high-quality lung ventilators, etc. have been purchased for the entire country. 

As part of this initiative, FUIB supported clinics in the Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Donetsk and Luhansk regions and purchased several thousand oximeters, pulse oximeters, sanitizers, and more than 20,000 of personal protective equipment (glasses, respirators, overalls, surgical gowns, gloves, long shoe covers). This equipment will be transferred to hospitals in different regions of Ukraine by the end of April to provide medical assistance to COVID-19 patients. In addition, two lung ventilators will be transferred to hospitals in western regions.
