Fedrigoni Supports Doctors Without Borders in Ukraine
Fedrigoni Group recently announced that it is supporting Ukrainian citizens, both those still in their country under bombardment and those who have managed to escape and are now scattered over the bordering countries or Italy. Fedrigoni reports that it has chosen to support Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), with the aim of guaranteeing emergency medical supplies to Ukrainian hospitals and training for the personnel of health structures on managing the huge influxes of wounded.
To date, MSF has sent over 200 tons of medical material including surgical and traumatological kits and drugs for chronic illnesses. The humanitarian medical organization has also fitted out a train as an emergency clinic that has so far transferred more than 200 patients from conflict zones to major Lviv hospitals far from the front line. Finally, support will be given via MSF to the fleeing population in the bordering countries, with the distribution of sleeping bags, warm clothing, and tents to face the cold weather and mobile clinical activities for basic and mental health.
