On April 23, 2020, Lakrua donated a HAMILTON-C3 ventilator worth $ 62,786 to the Intensive Care Unit of the 6th Clinical Hospital in Minsk for treatment of the patients with COVID-19. In these difficult times for society, our company could not stand aside. Like many others, we do our best to help people.
COVID-19 affects the lungs in about 20% of cases, and patients can quickly develop severe illness that features pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Such patients need to be ventilated to maintain high oxygen levels until their lungs can function in a normal way again as they recover.
An increased number of patients who need to be ventilated at the same time became a real challenge for the healthcare system in many countries.
Having more ventilators in a hospital can increase the chance of saving every patient who needs respiratory support.

We believe that our help can save someone's life.

After a relative lull that occurred in most countries in July-August, by mid-to-late September, the statistics of new cases of COVID-19 infection again rushed dangerously upward - and soon surpassed the peak spring rates.

Our company continues to support healthcare organizations at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19.

LLC "Lakrua" has purchased and supplied to the 3^rd City Clinical Hospital named after E.V. Klumov   medical equipment:

• blood pressure monitors MICROLIFE;
• syringe pumps DSh-09;
