It is a dream to work here”, the guests shared their impressions. The doctors became familiar with the company’s transshipment terminal which is capable of storing up to 173 thousand tons of grain.

There are no such laboratories in the medical sector. The laboratory demonstrates a high level when measuring grain and the products of its processing”, mentions Svitlana Fedorova, an acting director of the center. By the way, NIBULON efficiently solved the problem of diagnosing the disease at the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic by providing the required equipment free of charge to the Mykolaiv Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine.

Thus, I decided to renovate the Mykolaiv Regional Center of Infectious Disease Treatment. We have turned this facility into a modern medical town in 30 days. The company has solved logistics issues. NIBULON repaired a disinfection chamber, laundry and drying rooms. The company purchased new high-capacity equipment, arranged the laundry transportation in compliance with the rules. We did it in a week. This is one of the most important measures to avoid the spreading of coronavirus. We have done a large amount of work for our people, our city, and region. This is moral support for everyone, in particular for our team. In case someone is infected, the person will be treated by experienced doctors using high quality equipment.On behalf of the entire team of the Mykolaiv Regional Center of Infectious Disease Treatment, Svitlana Fedorova thanked NIBULON for its assistance and mentioned, “We had a complicated situation. Medical staff started to quit; thick people were afraid of treating here, as the hospital has not been financed or has been financed by a residual principle during many years. The situation has now changed considerably. The sick from regions want to be treated in our hospital. People are fascinated by the improvements. Our employees sincerely thank you for these changes. People are now working in proper conditions. Alevtyna Demianenko, deputy director of infection control, presented Oleksiy Vadaturskyy with an embroidered portrait of Taras Shevchenko. “We are grateful that NIBULON has rescued the hospital.”You can watch here the amazing story of the hospital transformation within 30 days.
