Thus, the financial institution, together with benefactors, purchased for UAH 2 million modern devices that help to diagnose and treat ophthalmological diseases for the advisory and diagnostic polyclinic of the Okhmatdyt National Health Service.

The other day, Bank employees collected UAH 1 million for the purchase of this incubator at an internal charity auction.
"Every child deserves the best. If we can give our attention and kindness to children or teenagers, we should do it. If we can help equip medical facilities that treat and save children's lives, we should do it. We thank the volunteers and benefactors who are actively involved in the projects of OTP Bank Helps Ukraine. By joining forces, we are able to implement more important initiatives than we could alone.", - added Lesia Syrota.
