Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC raises social security standards for its employees. The company, jointly with the trade union organization, has developed and began implementing an unprecedented voluntary health insurance program for the entire 17-thousandth team.

The program applies to all employees without exception, regardless of the division and position held. At the same time, the list of services provided by the insurance company is the same for everyone. It includes extensive opportunities for outpatient and inpatient treatment, emergency medical care, medical support, preventive examinations, and so on.

Employees of Ukrgasvydobuvannya will be able to choose where to receive medical services, because more than 600 medical institutions throughout Ukraine are available under the program. All expenses for medical services under the program will be covered by the company, and they will be free for employees.

"Ukrgasvydobuvannya's insurance program is unique for the corporate sector of Ukraine for several reasons. The number of employees simultaneously insured by the company is one of the largest in the country. The same insurance conditions will apply for everyone, without any preferences for managers. The services provided by the "package" will allow not only to treat a wide range of diseases efficiently, but also, first of all, to prevent them. The coronavirus pandemic has prompted us to pay even more attention to the health of employees. At the same time, the new insurance program is only one of the elements of the social policy implemented by Ukrgasvydobuvannya in order to create safe and comfortable working conditions," Olena Kobets, Director General of Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC, said.

Employees of the company will be able to take advantage of the program's benefits starting from February 1 of this year. Now applications are being collected, because health insurance is voluntary.

In addition to insurance, according to the Collective Agreement, Ukrgasvydobuvannya provides a number of other benefits aimed at preserving and improving the health of employees. In particular, the company has created all the necessary conditions to counteract the pandemic.

"In a difficult situation on the gas market, in the context of ongoing pandemic, we manage not to change our focus on the well-being of Naftogaz Group employees and find mechanisms for financing such important projects as health insurance. I congratulate Ukrgasvydobuvannya on the launch of a new, truly outstanding project, primarily created for employees in production. Preserving the health of those who work in fields and directly produce gas is our first priority", Olena Boychenko, member of the Management Board, Naftogaz Group HR and Social Policy Director, added.
