ADONIS Charity Initiatives
ADONIS Charity Initiatives
Let's hold the line!
The ADONIS team with dignity overcame the challenges connected with the beginning of the war in our country. The harsh new reality demanded decisive actions from the company. From the first days of the Russian attack, our doctors and staff continued to work, and sometimes literally live at work.
Unbreakable Maternity Hospital
On the gloomy morning of February 24, 2022, out of concern for the health of pregnant women, a medical team led by the deputy director of obstetrics and gynecology Dmytro Mykolaiovych Maslo went on duty in the now-destroyed maternity hospital in Buzova village (Kyiv Region, 34 A Sadovska St.).
At that time, in the still-surviving Maternity hospital, there were women in labor evacuated from other hospitals of the Kyiv region. A bomb shelter was equipped there, where babies continued to be born as long as it was possible.
On a day when an enemy military column was within half a kilometer of the building, all patients (including babies who required mechanical ventilation) and staff who had been in the basement for the past few days were successfully evacuated to another ADONIS Maternity hospital.
And already on February 28, the Maternity hospital in Buzova was badly damaged by an enemy rocket.
Surgical departments
ADONIS departments, which had surgical units, continued to be on call 24 hours a day. From the first days of the war, surgeons, anesthesiologists and all personnel provided medical assistance to residents and soldiers, working in extreme conditions, despite the lack of medicines, the impossibility of seeing relatives and looking for alternative ways of moving around the city.
Online consultations
From the first days of the invasion, the residents of the capital and the region needed qualified medical assistance and there was a demand for online consultations, our experts, mainly pediatricians and gynecologists, provided free remote consultations. Subsequently, the company became part of online platforms for providing online consultations.
Military rehabilitation
On the eve of the war, in February 2022, a new medical center with a full-fledged rehabilitation department for inpatients began operating in Bucha (Nove Shosse Street, 52). Fortunately, it suffered minor damage during the battles for the city, so after the liberation of the Kyiv region, we were able to quickly repair the building and equipment. At that time, a separate unit for the rehabilitation of soldiers after injuries was created based on the center. Having received the support of charitable foundations, we were able to carry out free rehabilitation of our defenders, giving them back the opportunity to move and live a full life. So far, 52 soldiers have undergone complex programs of restorative therapy and had obvious success on the way to a healthy life.
