Roche announces donation of essential medicines to Ukraine
Basel, 02 March 2022 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG;
OTCQX: RHHBY) today announced an initial donation of essential medicines to
Ukraine. Roche vehemently condemns the violent invasion of the country.
Roche is working diligently to support the
country and people of Ukraine with medical products in accordance with Roche’s
overall mission and announced today that we are donating 150,000 packages
of Rocephin, a critical antibiotic used to treat the symptoms of many
kinds of bacterial infections and listed on the World Health Organization’s
list of essential medicines.
These donations will be delivered to
Ukraine as soon as possible to address the urgent
need in the country. Roche is working with external partners to facilitate transport into the country despite
the current lack of humanitarian corridors into Ukraine.
Roche remains in contact with multiple global and local partners
as well as charities to understand how it can best continue to support the
people of Ukraine with additional medical supplies. The situation is evolving
quickly and further details will be shared when available.
