The relevant letter has been sent to the Federation of Employers of Ukraine, Confederation of Employers of Ukraine, Ukrainian Business Council, Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs, European Business Association and American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, according to a statement on the Health Ministry’s Facebook page.

“The funds raised will be focused and used to coordinate the procurement of quality and reliable personal protective equipment for healthcare workers (respirators, masks, gloves, suits and gowns, protective spectacles), as well as for the purchase of diagnostic tests, artificial lung ventilation devices, heartbeat monitors, disinfectants and medicines,” Ilya Yemets wrote in the letter.
