COVID-19

In 2020, all segments of population all over the world appeared vulnerable to a new disease. As a socially responsible company, we have traditionally stepped in to solve this problem that faced Ukraine. We immediately focused on providing assistance throughout Ukraine, not limiting ourselves to the regions of presence our employees. Bilateral consultations with the Ministry of Health identified top priorities and products that hospitals needed most to fight the pandemic and its spread.

The humanitarian consignment included 500,000 protective suits, 700 patient monitors, 50 mobile digital X-ray machines and 50 portable ultrasound scanners, which the company distributed and donated free of charge to 287 medical institutions in all regions of Ukraine. The total cost of the cargo along with delivery charges amounted to UAH 589 million.

Also, to provide for a safe conduct of the external independent testing Naftogaz responded to the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and purchased medical masks, non-contact thermometers, disinfectants, insulating medical gowns, and protective shields for medical workers for UAH 15.5 million. 36 million were allocated for the current needs of physicians in the Group’s regions of presence. These are mostly personal protective equipment and consumables. 17 million were donated by the Group’s employees personally to cover the needs that arose during the fight against the pandemic. In preparation for the second wave of the disease outbreak, Naftogaz Group repaired 49 ventilators worth UAH 4.2 million at the request of the Ministry of Health. In December 2020, 10,000 oxygen cylinders to a total worth of UAH 50 million were purchased outside Ukraine and delivered to cover the needs of the Ukrainian hospitals, in particular, for the operation of ventilators.
