Unfortunately, Kyiv has become one of the largest foci for the coronavirus spread in Ukraine. Today, the number of the coronavirus cases in the capital has crossed the 1,000 mark.

The experience of other countries shows that the level of hospital equipment during the coronavirus epidemic has a decisive influence on the effectiveness of medical care. Therefore, the support of clinics and doctors is so important. Absolutely any. Especially in Ukraine, where the state of the healthcare system is far from ideal.

Our Foundation with Nadiia Shalomova supports the Kyivans and Vitali Klitschko’s team in the common fight against the coronavirus. We have given over to the Kyiv clinical hospital No 15 a high-end WATO EX-20 Anesthesia Ventilator, which will allow the doctors to provide effective medical care to patients in the moderate and severe stages of the disease.

The device uses the latest architecture for anesthesia supervision, with an intelligent accounting system for the required volume of air. WATO EX-20 allows maintaining the respiratory function of patients of different ages, including children. This flexibility is of great importance, as in case of peak loads on the intensive care units, the device can be used for any patients who are in critical condition. A significant superiority of the device is also its ease of use. Hospital doctors will be able to learn to operate it in the shortest possible time.
