Ukraine 3000 and P&G Ukraine present emergency cars

The Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation and the Procter&Gamble Ukraine Company presented four modern emergency cars, which are worth 1.5 million hryvnyas, to the Cherkassy Center of Emergency Medicine and children’s regional hospitals in Uzhgorod, Kirovograd and Lugansk. 

In her speech, Kateryna Yushchenko, Head of the Ukraine 3000 Supervisory Council, thanked Procter&Gamble Ukraine and its General Director Jose Carlos Gonzalez Hurtado for “the wonderful present for the Ukrainian children” and said she hoped they would continue to cooperate.  

“Presenting these emergency cars, we demonstrate the way a charitable organization and a private company can solve serious social problems,” said the First Lady.

It is quite problematic to give first aid to children, transporting them to hospitals from remote towns and villages of Ukraine. Each of the presented vehicles is equipped with an electric device to restore normal heartbeat and a portable multi-channel electric cardiograph to urgently register patients’ cardiogram and diagnose their state.

At a press conference, Ukraine 3000 Head Dmytro Lyapin, P&G Ukraine PR Director Vitaly Prokopenko and Hospital to Hospital Director Vira Pavlyuk informed journalists that they would not only present medical equipment to hospitals but also share expertise and technologies with them.
