March – April: The big donations due to the pandemic – COVID-19
In the most serious public health crisis the planet has known, Mrs. Ioulia Tseti donates to the Greek and Cypriot health system Unikinon – with chloroquine as an active ingredient, to help patients hospitalized with SARS CoV-2. The production of the drug began almost immediately at the UNI-PHARMA facilities in Kato Kifissia. In the first pandemic wave, chloroquine was cited as a possible successful treatment to tackle the pandemic. Donations amounted to EUR 24 million free Unikinon doses for the (Hellenic) National Health System and 60,000 doses for the Cypriot health system.
