SFE “Forests of Ukraine” and the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine sign Memorandum of cooperation

The Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has, for many years, provided highly specialized care for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Recognized as one of Ukraine’s leading cardiothoracic surgery centers, its most experienced physicians use state-of-the-art equipment to treat conditions of any complexity—including myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, angina pectoris, hypertension, congenital heart defects, and more.

Partnership with the Heart Institute will enable our employees to receive highly specialized medical care, timely diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, and consultations with leading experts at discounted rates. Our enterprise will cover a portion of the costs.

Under the terms of the agreement, the first 30 foresters from Tsentralnyi, Stolychnyi and Pivnichnyi Forest Offices with cardiovascular conditions received complimentary cardiac screening performed by the Institute’s physicians.

“The primary objective is to identify heart diseases that require further surgical intervention or additional diagnostic work-up. Using an expert-class machine, we performed an echocardiogram and detected structural abnormalities. Those whose condition has deteriorated were referred to our Heart Institute. We will then commence treatment in accordance with the Memorandum’s terms,” says cardiac surgeon Yurii Hutsuliak.

Our enterprise plans to conclude similar agreements with medical institutions in other specialties. After all, the health of employees is a priority for SFE “Forests of Ukraine.”
