The Dutch technological company Philips, which, among other things, specializes in medical technologies, will continue to work on the Russian market.

This was announced by the company’s CEO Roy Jacobs at the annual meeting of the company’s shareholders in Amsterdam, reports Reuters.

The company’s position is that “there is a right to health care universaland we are part of the system that provides health care.” “We do it in Russia in the same way as in Ukraine.”

According to the company’s CEO, Philips’ activities in Russia are focused on servicing and supplying hospital equipment, such as large medical scanners. The company stopped selling its products for personal hygiene in the aggressor state, but not all: products for the care of pregnant women will continue to be sold.

At the same time, he added that activity in the Russian Federation is not profitable.

The Dutch shareholders’ association VEB called on Philips to stop its activities in Russia at the shareholders’ meeting. “It is impossible to remain neutral in this conflict,” said its director Gerben Everts.
