OREANDA-NEWS. On 24 December 2008 was announced, that at the building of the city hospital of Kingisepp of the Leningrad Region solemn opening of a new cabinet for computer tomography took place. In accordance with the Agreement for social and economic partnership with the region the mineral and chemical company EuroChem acquired for the Kingisepp central district hospital named after P.N. Prokhorov a computer tomography costing 20 million rubles. The highest administrators of the city and the district told words of gratitude addressed to MCC EuroChem and its production entity PG "Phosphorite" for material assistance to the region within the framework of corporate social responsibility. Unique ultrasonic diagnostic equipment produced by Toshiba MS has been installed in the premise especially prepared for it and is ready for operation.

The new medical service will be now available not only for Kingisepp residents but also residents from neighboring districts of the Leningrad Region and, certainly, employees of the enterprise PG "Phosphorite". Previously, in order to pass through such a diagnostic examination it was necessary to go to Saint-Petersburg and wait for a long time.

On the basis of experience of previous years it may be noted that the EuroChem Company has fulfilled its obligations within the framework of corporate social responsibility in full. For example, during three past years the regional clinical hospital of Saint-Petersburg received 45 million rubles for acquisition of diagnostic equipment. 

The practice of provision of financial assistance to socially important projects in the Leningrad Region and Kingisepp District is being implemented by EuroChem this year as well. Other 8 million rubles were received by the region for development of directions of charity which are of priority for the company - education, treatment and sports. The funds were directed towards enforcement of the material and technical base of educational establishments of Kingisepp, for development of sport clubs.
