Up to today we have distributed over 1 million PPE materials to 121 entities which include: hospitals, public assistance and healthcare organizations, foundations, associations, companies, retirement homes and individuals. We have also donated 144 machineries to 19 hospitals in turin and within the Piedmont Region. These include: 58 medical instruments, 41 beds for the intensive care unit, 27 pieces of furniture for different divisions of the hospitals, 6 softwares, 2 CT scans (one permanent and a mobile one). We have also supplied the hospitals with tablets and devices to help the patients communicate with their families.
We have rented a Boeing 767 to transfer a team of 38 doctors and nurses from Cuba to help the medical staff that has been designated to the new Healthcare Structure in the OGR dedicated to Covid patients. We have also put our SpecchioBus (a Ducato mini-bus with two ambulatories inside) at disposal of the Local Health Authorities so that they can move around the territory and take tampons samples.
