Over 100 oxygen concentrators and 3000 masks have arrived at hospitals in the country

The Superbet Foundation is always ready to lend a helping hand!

The Sars-Cov-2 virus did not stop for a second from making victims. So we decided to once again give a helping hand to the heroes in white coats, those on the front line. The fight for them is more than exhausting. An effective device could help them in this endless battle in which hundreds of people fight for life every day. The 110 devices distributed to hospitals in the country give them the opportunity to fight the disease more effectively.

With confidence in our souls and hope for the best, we chose to equip 67 hospitals in the country with 110 oxygen concentrators and 3000 related masks, professional materials with which doctors can save thousands of patients.

Every life saved means a lot to us, which is why we decided to mobilize in record time to send the concentrators to the medical facilities in the country. At the beginning of November, we received a first shipment of 10 concentrators, devices that benefited hospitals in crisis situations, from the cities of Pitesti, Craiova, Turnu Măgurele and Timișoara. Until the middle of November, we managed to complete the distribution of another 100 oxygen concentrators and 3000 masks.

When the concentrators were distributed, dozens of volunteers from the Superbet Group were present, as well as important personalities from the world of sports: Ana Maria Popescu, Cătălin Moroșanu, Ilie Dumitrescu, Virgil Stănescu, Vali Moraru and Bogdan Stelea.

The Superbet ambassadors showed their support for the doctors on the front line and participated in loading the devices that were to be sent to the hospitals in the country.

The action initiated and financed by the Superbet Group, to which INACO and Dentotal contributed with the logistical effort, was received with gratitude by the medical staff.

“As the beneficiary of 3 concentrators and 90 oxygen masks, we would like to thank you for the joint efforts to manage the COVID19 pandemic and for the help provided. Being an emergency hospital, we are overloaded during this period, having between 250-300 positively confirmed patients under permanent observation. Some are hospitalized in hospital wards (ATI Covid, Intermediate Therapy, DTA) and another, waiting, at the UPU. The need for oxygen is very high”, says Dr. Socea Bogdan, manager of the St. Pantelimon Emergency Clinical Hospital in Bucharest.

Every initiative counts, and we hope that the action of the Superbet Foundation will be a first step towards bringing the medical system to an optimal level in order to save the lives of as many patients as possible.

With a lot of caution, together we can get through this pandemic and bring back normalcy to our lives. We all miss the moments of full freedom, but our health and that of those around us is above all. Show that you care and take care of yourself!

Superbet Foundation helps Bagdasar Hospital in the fight against Covid-19

Covid 19 has sounded the alarm for each of us, but unfortunately, the fight against this relentless disease has become increasingly difficult for the health system and for the heroes in hospitals, on the front line.

October 2021 – Bagdasar Arseni Hospital was facing a major problem, a failure of two of the oxygen machines that the hospital has. Patients’ lives were at stake.

The Superbet Foundation takes a stand: it immediately equips the hospital with two more oxygen concentrators, absolutely necessary devices for patients admitted to the ATI. Borderline situations require quick solutions.

In high-risk situations, we are aware that our involvement can make a difference, and the fight against Covid-19 has motivated us to be more united in saving patients seriously affected by this virus.

Doctors have the first merit in saving patients, but their efforts must be complemented by specialized equipment and financial resources. This is where we decided to intervene, and the endowment of the Bagdasar-Arseni Hospital is just another step in what it means to involve the Superbet Foundation in the anti-Covid fight, after the actions taken starting from spring 2020.

Until the end of November 2021, the Superbet Foundation will donate to several hospitals, some of the most necessary medical equipment – oxygen concentrators, to help the Romanian health system overcome the consequences of the Covid-19 virus.

We are aware that only together we can save lives. Together we will get through this pandemic. The doctors do their duty with abundance (and we thank them for their superhuman efforts to save others). The Superbet Foundation is with them.

 What can you do? Get vaccinated and take all the protective measures you need!

The Superbet Foundation together with the authors of the “Don’t Take Them for Granted” project

Bucharest, October 13, 2020  –  For those who may still doubt that the COVID-19 infection is as serious as it gets, a collection of photos documenting over 70 hours of the fight against COVID-19 can be seen in  George Square Enescu  from Bucharest.

It is about the  “Don’t Take Them for Granted” project,  dedicated to the medical staff and all those on the front line, who have been fighting the virus day by day for eight months. There are impressive moments captured even in the ATI wards of three Bucharest hospitals – the National Institute of Infectious Diseases “Prof. Dr. Matei Balș”, the ROL 2 Military Hospital and the University Emergency Hospital.  

The Superbet Foundation, together with three other companies and entities such as ARCUB, Bucharest City Hall and the Ministry of Defense made possible the step to transform the invisible into the visible: two artists,  Cristian Movilă  and  Capucine Gros  , photographed the doctors of the three hospitals, even on the battlefield with a disease that  has already claimed  over a million victims worldwide and over 5,400 in Romania.

 “Involvement in ‘ Do n’t take them for granted ‘ is a continuation of the Superbet  Foundation’s efforts to be  with those who save lives .  If from March until now we have chosen to concretely help the medical staff with protective equipment, biocides and tests, this time we have chosen an artistic project that highlights the superefforts that some of our peers make every day. I was impressed not only by the access for the public eye to the scenes of the battle for life, but also by this call for empathy and the need for community solidarity in such moments of crisis”,  said Augusta Dragic, president of the Superbet Foundation and a surgeon by profession.

 The artist Capucine Gros wanted to explain one of the powerful messages of the new photo-documentary – “……  remembering that we are all someone’s child is a simple and accessible idea. But on a much deeper level, it makes us see everyone else as an invisible interconnected web and not as solitary individuals. In times like these, we need empathy, solidarity and a real understanding of what the strength of a community can mean.”

 The project initiated by the UNFINISHED community also benefited from the collaboration of the actor Benedict Cumberbatch (voice over) and the gallant Chilean conceptual artist, Alfredo Jaar, recently named the winner of the prestigious HASSELBLAD prize for photography.

Starting from October 9, 2020, the installation is open to the public in George Enescu Square in Bucharest, and in the online environment, the project can be viewed on  https://superbetfoundation.com,   https://notforgranted.org, either via  Vimeo or  YouTube.

We remind you that within the #PariemPeBine campaign ,  initiated since  March this year, the Superbet Foundation donated protective equipment, tests and biocides to 35 hospitals in Romania. The effort was supported in partnership with two other Associations –  INACO  and  Zi de bine .

Through the Superbet Foundation, the Superbet Group, the largest sports betting operator in Romania, regularly runs CSR programs through which it gets involved in the life of the community.
