A consortium of IT, software and Fintech companies donate medical supplies and money to strengthen the preparedness of the Cyprus medical system to the threats posed by COVID-19.

"Seeing what we saw in other countries, we could not have stayed on the sidelines and waited. We decided to act – our employees were sent to work from home before the government actions to the same effect were announced – and investment into the increase of medical system capacity seemed like the most reasonable thing to do", - said Andrey Fadeev, the CEO of Nexters.
