To the topic: One drone at a time can save up to a hundred lives: the project “1000 drones for Ukraine” was launched in Lviv Oblast
“Soon, 13 ambulances will be delivered to military units, and then to the front. The machines were fully equipped with medical equipment so that they could save our soldiers, who daily sacrifice the most valuable thing for the future of our country – their health. It is extremely gratifying that the event is taking place within the framework of the initiative of the head of Lviv OVA Maksym Kozytskyi “1000 cars of freedom”. In joint efforts with various benefactors, we have already handed over 1,200 cars to make the work of defenders on the front lines more mobile. I sincerely thank the SoftServe company and the Open Eyes Foundation for the assistance they have been providing to the military since 2014,” said Andriy Godyk, First Deputy Head of the Lviv Oblast.
According to him, the process of helping wounded soldiers takes place in two stages – evacuation vehicles take the wounded from the “zero” front line to the evacuation point, there they are transferred to “ambulances” and delivered to medical institutions.
Together with the “ambulances” handed over today, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the SoftServe company has delivered 111 vehicles to the needs of the Armed Forces, some of them for the first stage, i.e. evacuation from the front line and for medical assistance in a safer area.
“Since the first days of the full-scale war, SoftServe has been working on the economic front, but at the same time, we have also focused on volunteer projects aimed at helping Ukraine. One of these projects is the “Drive for life” of our corporate charity fund “Open Eyes”, which started last year on the company’s birthday. For our 29th anniversary, we decided to purchase and transfer 29 ambulances to the front, but today we already cross the mark of 100 vehicles, including ambulances and vehicles for evacuating the wounded. In general, as of now, the total amount of funds with which SoftServe implemented volunteer projects during the war is more than 400 million hryvnias,” emphasized the co-founder, chairman of the Board of Directors of SoftServe, Yaroslav Lyubinets.
Bella Rapoport, a representative of Open Eyes Foundation, noted that each of the “ambulances” is fully equipped with the necessary resuscitation medical equipment and humanitarian aid (medicines, medical consumables, food, means of immobilization, etc.).
“We focused our volunteer work specifically on helping military medics, who save hundreds or even thousands of lives of defenders of Ukraine every day. Accordingly, all cars are delivered with a complete set of necessary elements that save lives on the way to the hospital. These are defibrillators, stretchers, fixation pads for fractures, life support systems, ventilators, etc.,” she noted.
By the way, employees of the SoftServe company, who are volunteers of the corporate charity fund, will personally deliver the cars to the military units, they also helped drive them to Ukraine from Europe. These 13 cars will go to the defenders in the coming days.
