“We are close to the civil society and authorities in this common effort; solidarity and social responsibility are essential, but during crises these values are vital. That is why the Group allocated financial resources for the management of the pandemic in Romania and other countries where we hold operations: the Republic of Moldova and Bulgaria” – Alexey Golovin, Chief Officer Legal and Corporate Affairs, KMG International.

This 12-bed mobile unit can be used anywhere in the country during the pandemic, but also later during disaster situations, and aims to increase the capacity of hospitals to offer high-standard care to patients.

“We are pleased that our message regarding the need to have 4 mobile therapy had such a quick positive response from Rompetrol and the Red Cross. As mentioned on numerous occasions, only a complex preparedness can help us better manage major emergency situations. We thank all for the involvement and support during these days. Your positive thoughts give us the strength to move forward and help each patient” – added dr. Raed Arafat, Head of Department for Emergency Situations.

“We thank Rompetrol for supporting this initiative to buy a mobile ICU, which will bring hope to people affected by SARS-CoV2. We are grateful to all donors, individuals and companies who proved their responsibility and solidarity during this crisis period. Goodwill and solidarity make us stronger” – Ion Silviu Lefter, general director of Red Cross Romania.
