Fedrigoni provides medical support for Ukraine

With this initiative, Fedrigoni is providing support to the Ukrainian citizens, both those still in their country under bombardment and those who have managed to escape and are now scattered over the bordering countries or Italy.  

 

To date, MSF has sent over 200 tons of medical material including surgical and traumatological kits and drugs for chronic illnesses. The humanitarian medical organization has also fitted out a train as an emergency clinic, that has so far transferred more than 200 patients from conflict zones to major Lviv hospitals far from the front line. Finally, support will be given via MSF to the fleeing population in the bordering countries, with the distribution of sleeping bags, warm clothing, and tents to face the cold weather and mobile clinical activities for basic and mental health.   

 

On the other hand, other interventions for the refugees have seen the mobilization of some Fedrigoni sites in Poland and Italy. Fedrigoni has a site and cutting center in Poland, the first target of hundreds of thousands of people who have managed to cross the border, and the employees on site have mobilized to welcome the Ukrainian refugees by collecting funds and assessing, where possible, any possibility of employment; finally, in Italy, and particularly in Verona, Ukrainian families have found hospitality in premises belonging to the company.   

 

Marco Nespolo, CEO of the Fedrigoni Group, stated: ‘At such a delicate time for the whole world, we wanted to add our contribution to the mobilization of so many, hoping to bring some relief to the Ukrainian population, which has been hit hard.’
