Keremet Bank took part in humanitarian action of the Union of Banks of Kyrgyzstan by purchasing ventilators and oxygen concentrators for hospitals of the Kyrgyz Republic
The daily burden on the health sector of the KR caused by the spread of coronavirus infection has revealed an acute shortage of ventilators, oxygen concentrators, pulse oximeters and other equipment in medical institutions in the country.
To solve this problem, the Union of Banks of Kyrgyzstan promptly initiated fundraising among participants in the banking sector for the purchase of medical equipment. In just two weeks, bankers were able to raise funds, order and deliver 6 ventilators, 100 oxygen concentrators and 1000 pulse oximeters to the country for free transfer to regional medical institutions.
11 financial and credit institutions responded to call of the Union of Banks of Kyrgyzstan to support the bank's humanitarian action, including Keremet Bank, which also assummed all the costs of delivering imported equipment from Bishkek to the southern regions of Kyrgyzstan. Today, thanks to the Bank, the humanitarian cargo went to Jalal-Abad, and then to Osh and Batken regions.
- - We are one people and the pandemic is our common calamity. We cannot remain indifferent, - says Erkinbek JUMABAEV, Chairman of the Board of Keremet Bank OJSC. – I sincerely thank the Union of Banks of Kyrgyzstan for the announced initiative and feel pride of my colleagues-bankers who, despite difficult times, did not stand aside and very quickly decided to support the action. Together we have done much more than each bank could have done individually. Now our main goal is to provide targeted delivery of equipment to the neediest medical institutions of Kyrgyzstan.
From the first days of the emergency mode and state of emergency in the Kyrgyz Republic Keremet Bank, using its extensive regional network, has been active in charity in all areas of the country, supporting large and poor families, disabled persons, pensioners, medical institutions, specialized children's institutions, and wildlife funds.
