Riga,
Latvia - October 3, 2012 – URALCHEM
and a leading charitable organization of Latvia, the fund of
Ziedot.lv,
have agreed to work together to help seriously ill children who need
specific treatment or rehabilitation using leading Russian clinics.
URALCHEM will provide funding for the hospitalization and treatment
of children to the amount of 80 thousand Euros. A corresponding
agreement has been signed today by URALCHEM CEO Dmitry Konyaev and
Manager of the Fund Ziedot.lv Ruta Dimanta.
Dmitry
Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM, OJSC:
"Since
2009, URALCHEM has been implementing a large-scale logistics project
involving the creation of a terminal for transhipment of mineral
fertilizers in the Latvian port of Riga. Traditionally, in all
regions where URALCHEM does business, we pursue a socially
responsible policy, which aims to address the socio-economic problems
of the people of these regions. One of the priorities of our policy
has always been to help children. In a joint program with Ziedot.lv
we will help families of different nationalities living in Latvia who
need financial and medical assistance."
Ruta
Dimanta, Head of the Fund Ziedot.lv:
"The
programme will help seriously ill children who need treatment in
Russian clinics, and whose families are not able to cover all the
costs. URALCHEM's support is particularly important because the
treatment of Latvian residents outside the European Union is not
funded by the state. In practice, in cases with rare or complex
diseases, it is necessary to seek help outside Latvia. Children
deserve to have the highest level of treatment based on modern
scientific developments."
The
agreement stipulates that, within a specially designed charity
programme - "Help for seriously ill children", 20 children
from Latvia will be treated in leading medical institutions in Russia
during the coming year. The programme participants are selected by
the fund Ziedot.lv on the basis of doctor's recommendations and
requests from parents for financial assistance. Assistance is needed
in the treatment of diseases such as autism, vision recovery,
cerebral palsy and developmental delay.
With
this initiative by URALCHEM, Latvian children will now be able to
access world leading medical treatment not only within the EU but in
Russia as well.
