On Mar. 2, 2022, Roche announced an initial donation of essential medicines to Ukraine. Roche is working diligently to support the country and people of Ukraine with medical products in accordance with Roche’s overall mission and announced that we are donating 150,000 packages of Rocephin, a critical antibiotic used to treat the symptoms of many kinds of bacterial infections and listed on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines.

These donations were delivered to Ukraine to address the urgent need in the country. Roche was working with external partners to facilitate transport into the country despite the current lack of humanitarian corridors into Ukraine.

Roche remained in contact with multiple global and local partners as well as charities to understand how it can best continue to support the people of Ukraine with additional medical supplies. The situation was evolving quickly and further details were to be shared when available.
