Stanislav Titovich, Chief Physician of VCCР, accepted the keys to the UAZ vehicles and thanked the gas workers for their assistance to the city's medical professionals, which they have been providing for two years and this is not the first time. Vitebskoblgaz made a substantial financial contribution to the acquisition of equipment for the PCR laboratory, which, in the context of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, has provided city outpatient facilities with much-needed diagnostic capabilities.

In turn, gas workers, as employees of an operational service, perform a large volume of work to ensure uninterrupted and safe gas supply, which requires excellent health among employees. Specialists from city polyclinics were among the first to implement such an important preventive measure as vaccination against COVID-19 for this professional group.

At the ceremony, Vladimir Terentyev noted that large state corporations like the regional gas company are known for their good, high-quality work and significant tax contributions to the common treasury. The enterprise also provides assistance to athletes to help them achieve world-class results, orphans, and many others who need support. The active participation in the important mission that medical professionals are carrying out in today's challenging conditions was expressed today through the handover of much-needed vehicles. The gift is timely and useful.

Nikolai Orlov and Mikhail Vishnevetsky also emphasized the importance and timeliness of supporting medical workers with everything they need to perform their duties more effectively and promptly. In total, last year, 65 million rubles were spent on strengthening the material and technical base of the region's healthcare, including 11 million on equipment. 16 ambulances were purchased. OutpatientAdditional transport is allocated by enterprises and organizations of Vitebsk to this link during periods of increased morbidity, by decision of the city authorities.

At the ceremony, words of gratitude to the medical workers were repeatedly expressed, wishes for health to them and their patients, so that the pandemic would end sooner, and life would return to its usual course -- without such overloads and excessive anxieties.
