MyTona, together with partners, will donate 45 million rubles ($0.5 million) to hospitals for lung ventilation devices

The Yakut IT business decided to help local hospitals. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the MyTona gaming company, inDriver passenger transportation service and entrepreneur Arsen Tomsky will allocate 45 million rubles to hospitals in Yakutia for the purchase of artificial lung ventilation (ventilator) devices.

Recall that the coronavirus that caused the pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) can cause COVID-19 disease. When complicated, it causes viral pneumonia, which leads to respiratory failure. Simply put, some patients cannot breathe on their own. They need to be connected to a ventilator, thanks to which doctors have more time to treat the disease.

There are not so many ventilators. For example, in the same Yakutia in mid-March, there were 361 of them. In the case of a large influx of patients with complications, lack of equipment can lead to numerous deaths. The cost of one such device can be several million rubles.

MyTona is one of the most successful domestic gaming companies today. According to AppMagic, it is the second largest mobile gaming company based in the Russian Federation by monthly earnings. In the first place — Playrix, and in the third — My.Games (excluding Pixonic).

The Yakut company is the first Russian gaming business that decided to financially support domestic healthcare.
