Deputies handed over a batch of personal protective equipment to the Vitebsk Regional Maternity Hospital

Deputies of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus of the VII convocation from the Vitebsk region initiated the purchase of personal protective equipment for medical workers at their own expense. Their colleague and Belarusian TV presenter Tengiz Dumbadze supported the initiative and donated special face shields. The enterprise "Trud-Vitebsk" also made its contribution: the team not only fulfilled the parliamentarians' order for sewing protective suits but also gratuitously donated part of the products.

As a result, about 60 special overalls, more than 100 face shields, and a batch of shoe covers were delivered to the Vitebsk Regional Clinical Maternity Hospital. The deputies intend to deliver some of the shields to the city ambulance station as well.

– With this initiative, we wanted to express our gratitude to the doctors, represented by the staff of the maternity hospital, who are currently working with people infected with the virus. All our healthcare workers are heroes whom we are proud of. We also wanted to show our support; together, we will overcome any adversity, – summarized Viktor Nikolaikin, deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus.

The chief physician of the maternity hospital, Elena Leonovich, thanked the deputies for their assistance and wished everyone good health.

The received batch of protective equipment will serve as a reserve, allowing the staff to work calmly and professionally fulfill their duty.

Babies continue to be born at the regional maternity hospital. Thus, from April 20 to 27, 11 children were born within the institution, including two sets of twins.
