"A civilized business is this one socially responsible. In today's circumstances, numerous CSR projects of Ukrainian companies and organizations are adapting to military realities. The "DarVidznaka" award became for us such a new project this year. We wanted to show Ukrainians that everyone is important in their place. So we collected hundreds of brave stories from these hardened pharmacists, selected the best and made them public. We are sincerely grateful to every pharmacist in our country for their tireless work at the front desk!" - Vasyl Hubarets, the Darnitsa pharmaceutical company director for corporate communications.
