On March 28, 2019, in Astrakhan, Nikolay Gorban, CPC General Director, and Sergey Morozov, Acting Astrakhan Region Governor, delivered advanced medical equipment to medical institutions in the region.
Caspian Pipeline Consortium allocated about 15.3 million roubles to purchase the equipment. One artificial ventilation unit each was received by the Regional Infective Clinical Hospital named after A.M. Nichogi and the Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital named after N.N. Silishcheva. The regional clinical tuberculosis dispensary received a mobile fluorographic facility, KRP-Tandem, mounted on a Hyundai chassis.
It is worth noting that in 2013 CPC already purchased a mobile flurographic facility, ProScan-7000, mounted on a Kamaz-truck chassis for the regional clinical tuberculosis dispensary. More than 10 thousand people living in remote areas of the Astrakhan Region were checked up using the unit every year. The new unit is a digital low-dose fluorograph with a capacity of 60 images per hour.
The artificial ventilation machines are designed to maintain assisted artificial ventilation support when treating newly-born babies weighting up from 500 grams and also patients of all ages with pulmonary malfunctions. The units are equipped with a programmable control ventilator with a respiratory gas supply control device.
As a good corporate citizen, Caspian Pipeline Consortium has for many years been implementing various charity programs in the Astrakhan Region, with special focus on health care. Out of almost 80 million roubles directed by CPC into the region's social sphere, about half is accounted for by support projects for medical institutions.
