On 5 of September, at 11.00, the transfer of the immunological analyzer "Arkitekt i1000 SR" by Abbott to the Ministry of Defense will take place. The device was purchased for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the international NGO "International Institute for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis" within the framework of the PEPFAR project.

The transfer of the equipment will take place in the laboratory department of the Blood Center of the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital” (18 Hospitalna str., Kyiv).

Representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, LTC Charles Hill (Bilateral Affairs Officel), Mr. James Cahill (Medical Advisor, Office of Defense Cooperation), William B. Taylor (Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. of the United States Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine), Mrs. Alice Wolfram (PEPFAR Embassy Interagency Coordinator) were invited to participate in the event.

The recent acquisition of the immunological analyzer "Arkitekt i1000 SR" by Abbott is the latest addition to a reform process. The equipment is already installed and operational. In addition, the manufacturer provided training for professionals who are now working with this unit.

The device is much easier to operate and allows faster, cheaper and more likely to detect hemocontact pathogens than previous manual tests "ELISA" antibodies. Thus, in the future, the number of uncertain and false-positive results will decrease significantly. This detection of contaminated blood is a critical component of all blood safety programs.

I congratulate Ukraine on Independence Day and wish everyone peace, harmony, goodness and prosperity. Let the dream of a better future inspire you to new accomplishments and new good beginnings!

In February 2019, the official launch of the DHAPP PEPFAR Project, under which the United States Government allocated funds to fight HIV / AIDS, which was implemented International Non-Governmental Organization "International Institute for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis".

However, work on the DHAPP PEPFAR project is not unique to the International Institute for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis. During the period 2017-2018, in the absence of the project, the director of the International Institute for HIV / AIDS and Tuberculosis, US Colonel Eliot Jacobs Perlman, assisted other organizations in combating the spread of HIV / AIDS and tuberculosis in Ukraine.

So, in 2018, due to Mr. Eliot's justification for the need to purchase a mobile radiological system, two mobile radiological systems TMB-320, were purchased for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. These devices were purchased as part of a grant from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and delivered to 61 and 65 mobile hospitals.

Крім того, за особистого сприяння Еліота Якобза Перлмана, наприкінці 2018 року в рамках реалізації гранту Глобального фонду для боротьби зі СНІДом, туберкульозом та малярією для потреб 59 ВМГ, 66 ВМГ, ВМКЦ Північного регіону, НВМКЦ “ГВКГ” було придбано 4 апарати GeneXpert, які використовують молекулярно-генетичний метод для діагностики туберкульозу, а також 10 наборів картриджів до них.

In addition, with the personal assistance of Elliot Jacob Perlman, at the end of 2018, four GeneXpert devices were purchased. The procurement was part of a Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria grant. 59 and 66 military-mobile hospitals were delivered to the apparatus.
