On July 16, 2024, a solemn awarding ceremony for the nominees of the “Capital Quality Standard” competition was held. SE “USIE IZOTOP” was awarded the winner’s diploma.
In particular, the company was nominated for a complex of services for the supply of radioisotope products and equipment that uses radioactive materials, as well as support for the managing of radioactive materials at all stages of their life cycle.
Director of SE “USIE IZOTOP” Volodymyr KALACHYK noted, “For us, this award is a recognition that despite a very difficult period for Ukraine, we not only survived, but also move forward, that the services we provide are about quality, safety and expertise. By the way, among the 14 winners, we are the only state enterprise.”
SE “USIE IZOTOP” performs an important social component, because it works to meet the needs of Ukrainian medical institutions and enterprises. Given the lack of own production in Ukraine, the only way to obtain radiopharmaceuticals and sources of ionizing radiation is to supply them from abroad.
“Simply put, we import the necessary medicines for the treatment and diagnosis of oncological diseases, conducting scientific research. Sources of ionizing radiation, the so-called SIR, are used for radiation therapy, as well as to ensure the functioning of industrial enterprises of various directions. In addition, we provide radioisotope equipment maintenance services,” explained Volodymyr KALACHYK.
He added that accuracy and professionalism in the work of the company’s staff are mandatory, because they work with hazardous substances. Accordingly, SE “USIE IZOTOP” has all the necessary licenses and permits, and specialists of SE “USIE IZOTOP” are constantly improving their skills.
