Pontica Solutions donated an AED to Vitosha Metro Station
The outsourcing company Pontica Solutions invested in the purchase of a modern AED and donated it to one of the busiest metro stations in Sofia, Vitosha where more than half a million people pass through every year. The defibrillator was installed in a central location, offering visibility and easy access, strengthening emergency response capabilities for commuters, and enhancing public safety.
The event for the donation took place in the metro station on May 30, 2023, and was attended by CAO Kameliya Atanasova, HR Director Milena Balevska, and Marketing Expert Marina Todorova who expressed Pontica’s commitment to both employee and community safety. Kameliya Atanasova stated:
“Our commitment to the people in Pontica constantly pushes us to do more, give more and make life easier for everyone, not just our organization. As responsible citizens, we understand the immense importance of prompt and effective medical assistance in emergencies. Through this donation, we hope to contribute to the safety and well-being of the thousands of individuals who travel daily but also inspire other organizations to do the same in a small act of kindness that can save many lives."
The good act was realized with the successful collaboration of Pontica with responsible and engaged institutions and professionals who also took this initiative to heart. Supporters of the donation and attendees at the event were Stoyan Bratoev, Executive Director of “Metropoliten” JSC, renowned Prof. Dr. of Cardiology Ivo Petrov who was personally invested in our cause supporting the development and popularization of first aid and rescue in Bulgaria, based on modern scientific data, and Georgi Georgiev, Chairman of the Sofia City Council and active supporter of the safety and modernization of the Sofia urban environment. They expressed their gratitude and admiration for Pontica being one of the few companies to contribute to an urgent cause.
The donated defibrillator is known for its advanced features and reliability and can potentially save lives during critical medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests. With its user-friendly design, the device can be operated by both medical professionals and laypersons, making it an invaluable asset in high-pressure situations. In the future, Pontica plans to invest in the donation of more AEDs that will be installed in key public sites in various locations.
Meanwhile, Pontica also invests in the internal health and well-being of their employees as part of their key CSR vertical, #wesupportYOU. The company has made it their mission to establish a corporate environment based on safety and educate our teams to recognize and react swiftly in critical situations. At Pontica, regular training is conducted for management to be able to give first aid to people experiencing emergency health issues.
