Two isolation boxes have been delivered to Mariupol to transport patients with coronavirus infection. They will protect doctors from the possibility of infection. Bioboxes are charitable assistance from Vadym Novynsky International Charitable Fund. Mayor Vadym Boichenko got acquainted with the cameras.

Vadym Boichenko emphasized that today Mariupol is ready to accept patients with coronavirus. Due to the help of Rinat Akhmetov and Vadym Novynsky, city hospitals receive the necessary equipment.

‘We see that the algorithms of actions that we organized, based on international experience, give a tangible effect. This month we have confirmed six patients. Today, four of them have already been discharged home,’
the Mayor noted.

In turn, the director of the Smart Holding branch in Mariupol, Alexander Trubachev, emphasized that Mariupol has always been and remains among the company's priorities.

‘Vadym Novynsky International Charitable Fund had presented  the city with two mechanical ventilation devices, personal protective equipment kits for doctors and a PCR laboratory before,’ Alexander Trubachev emphasized.

According to the director of Ambulance Hospital Sergey Orleansky, light cameras - weigh 14 kilograms and are easy to use - are easily attached to a stretcher. They create negative pressure inside. Air is “sucked” through the filters. The spread of aerosols containing bacteria or viruses is completely excluded.

‘This is very timely and relevant. The cameras will allow us to transport patients from home or, if necessary, to a consultation. The main thing is that we protect doctors,’ the doctor noted.
