Siemens provides extensive aid for Ukraine
“Together
with Siemens Healthineers, our colleagues at Siemens have already shown their
great commitment and willingness to help. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine
isn’t over yet. As a result, Siemens continues its support to improve the
situation, in particular for medical care in hospitals and other critical
infrastructure. We’ve launched multiple aid projects to alleviate the hardship
and suffering of those who have been so severely impacted by the effects of the
war,” said Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG.
One special focus of Siemens’ aid efforts focus is being placed on supplying
people with energy, heating and medical products. Above all, many hospitals in the
country’s crisis areas currently lack necessary equipment and medication. To
support medical care, Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is working with facilities such
as the emergency-care hospital in the Lviv region. As part of this
collaboration, the donations are used to improve diagnosis and treatment
capabilities. Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is also working intensively on planning
and implementing aid projects for hospitals in six other cities – Zaporozhye,
Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Odessa and Kyiv.
In addition, Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is cooperating with
Tabletochki, the largest Ukrainian crowdfunding charity foundation. This
foundation advocates interests of children who have cancer in Ukraine and is
using the donations to procure pharmaceuticals and medical products.
Stephan Frucht, member of the Board
at Siemens Caring Hands e.V., said: “It’s important to provide carefully
selected, steadfast support to the people in Ukraine. We know from our crisis
work that willingness to help can decline significantly over time. We at
Siemens Caring Hands are determined to counteract this. And we’re grateful that
Siemens and its dedicated employees are enabling us to continue our support.”
