KMG International (formerly The Rompetrol Group), through the “Together for Each and Everyone” program, has offered support for the rehabilitation and refitting of the emergency ward at the Vulcan City Hospital, Hunedoara county, which treats around 9,600 patients annually. The value of support granted is EUR 10,000.
“Healthcare is one of the pillars of any good society, with direct impact upon the economic performance. That is why, for us at KMG International the health and safety of our employees, as well as the health of the national community at large, is one of our key priorities and an intervention direction in our CSR endeavors.” said Azamat Zhangulov, Senior VP of KMG International.
The project, launched in October 2014, was implemented with the support of volunteers and medical staff and entailed the renovation of the 330-sq.m. of the emergency ward in compliance with national regulations, followed by the installation of new medical equipment and furniture: portable ventilator, crash carts, 12-channel ECG machines and so on. The project is for the direct benefit of the 188 hospital employees, the 24,000 residents of Vulcan as well as residents from nearby towns in Valea Jiului.
The project’s education component was aimed at 139 students in local schools, who attended three seminars on healthcare and first aid.
”The emergency service is vital for the community. It truly makes the difference between life and death. This endeavor enables us to improve the medical assistance we will provide for years to come thanks to the quality of renovation works and the high-end medical equipment,” said Dr. Cristina Baleia, hospital manager.
The Group supports the development of local communities through social responsibility platform “Energy Comes from the Heart” which includes projects developed throughout the country in fields like environmental protection, healthcare and culture; over the past seven years, investments in these programs exceeded USD 7 million. Partnerships run by KMG International include sponsorships of the George Enescu International Music Festival, the Civil Society Gala, SMURD, the National Youth Orchestra etc.
