Providing medical personnel with protective equipment
The coronavirus epidemic has become a hardship for the human race . For the first time in the last hundred years , people all over the world have become aware of the genuine threat to both their health and lives , which was brought about by the outbreak of a contagious disease . After joining an unequal battle with the unknown COVID-19 virus , those who initially exposed themselves to risk were doctors and medical personnel .
In the middle of March 2020 , when the first cases of coronavirus infection had been reported in Kazakhstan , doctors , medical personnel and pharmacists faced a shortage of protective equipment : gloves , hazmat suits , protective glasses , respirators , and disinfectants . For many years SANTO has been working with various structures of the health care system , and having known the whole situation from an internal perspective , we could not stand on the sidelines . From the very first day , our company began to supply medical institutions with personal protective equipment . Our company transitioned into constant production and did everything to ensure that those in need received the necessary PPE , medicines and disinfectants as soon as
possible . SANTO provided personal protective equipment ( visor masks , hazmat suits , medical gloves , and masks ) to medical personnel in Nur-Sultan , Almaty , and Shymkent , and antiseptics for the military unit in Shymkent . Our company also provided medicinal products to the Shymkent Cardiology Centre , National Research Cardiac Surgery Centre and the nursing home affiliated with one of the Christian temples in Almaty .
Our Company has made every effort to increase the production volume to provide the citizens of the country with medicines . The SANTO plant produces essential medicines that the World Health Organization has classified as vital . These are the medicines that health care systems depend on and cannot work effectively without them . These medicines include antibiotics as well as medicines that address cardiovascular problems , acute conditions , diseases of the respiratory system , medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal , neurological and psychiatric diseases , as well as the medicines for symptomatic treatment and many other things , including specialty medicines for more specific severe diseases , for example , biosimilars .
