The Government of Hungary delivered to Transcarpathia the measles vaccine

On Friday, representatives of the Hungarian government handed over to the Transcarpathian regional organization of the "Red Cross" a humanitarian aid of eight thousand doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccines.

 The vaccines will be delivered to the infectious department of the Regional Clinical Hospital for vaccination of children. The Hungarian party was represented by the authorized representative of the government of Istvan Grezha and the Hungarian Consul General Jozef Buhayla, the Transcarpathian RSA was represented by Hennadiy Moskal and the director of the Department of Health Volodymyr Markovich.

– The vaccine was purchased by the Ministry of Human Resources of Hungary (its cost is 330 thousand euros) and delivered to Transcarpathia in response to Hennadiy Moskal’s appeal, – István Grezha said. – I want to emphasize that it will be used for children in Transcarpathia, regardless of their nationality. And I assure that Hungary will continue to assist its neighbors in the humanitarian sphere in every possible way.

– This is not the first such assistance, which we are sincerely grateful for, – Hennadiy Moskal said. – Last February, the Hungarian government gave our region five thousand measles vaccines, and in March – drugs for patients with renal failure. The medicines we have just received were made in Belgium, the experts consider them the best in the world. Eight thousand doses will be enough for about one and a half months. Unfortunately, our region has not yet received ten thousand doses of vaccines promised by the Ministry of Health.
