The Ministry of Health received a humanitarian cargo with personal protective equipment and dosimetric devices, which arrived from the German government with the coordination and logistical support of the IAEA. Humanitarian aid was sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure nuclear and radiation safety. Priority was given to regions that have nuclear power plants or are close to them.
This assistance is provided to Ukraine within the framework of the IAEA Response and Assistance Network (RANET) in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Assistance in the Event of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency.
This time Ukraine received:
- 210 protective suits,
- 900 nitrile gloves,
- 200 fabric gloves,
- 200 packs of respiratory masks,
- 400 protective covers,
- 2 gamma-neutron pagers.
We thank colleagues from partner countries who continue to support Ukraine during Russia’s aggressive war against our country. This assistance makes it possible to comply with the principles of nuclear and radiation safety and allows continuous monitoring of the environment.
We also remind you that in November 2022, as part of RANET from the French government, Ukraine received 260 dosimeters.
