The Electrica Group, through its electricity supply, service and distribution companies, supports the remarkable effort of the medical staff against the spread of the new coronavirus and donates 240,000 euro in support of hospitals in Bucharest, Ploiesti, Brașov and Cluj.

The donated amounts are used for the purchase of medical equipment absolutely necessary to treat patients affected by the new virus, as well as protective equipment for medical staff, as follows:

  • SDEE Transilvania Nord – 30,000 euro to Cluj County Emergency Hospital;
  • SDEE Transilvania Sud – 30,000 euro to the Clinical Hospital of Pneumophysiology, Brasov;
  • SDEE Muntenia Nord – 30,000 euro to Ploiești County Emergency Hospital;
  • Electrica Furnizare SA – 30,000 euro to the Institute of Pneumophysiology Marius Nasta, from Bucharest;
  • Electrica SERV – 30,000 euro to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases Matei Balș, from Bucharest.

Electrica Furnizare contributed, with about 90,000 euro, also to the “National Campaign for information and prevention of contamination with the new Coronavirus,” implemented by the Romanian Red Cross, for the purchase of sanitary masks for single use.

In the same context, Electrica employees are involved in an internal fundraising campaign for the Hospital of Pneumophysiology “Marius Nasta”, in order to purchase strollers for patients, some of which have already been donated to the medical unit.

“We are going through a difficult time in which we need, more than ever, to be united and to protect everyone around us. At the same time, we need to support those who take care of us, our families, our colleagues and our friends with all we can. All the medical staff now in the front line deserve our respect, consideration and help. These days, they are truly heroes, as, keeping their proportions, our electricians are also on the front line, on site, to ensure electricity supply, regardless of weather and times,” said Corina Popescu, general manager of Electrica.
