Health Center Vukovar will use the received donation for purchase of a portable 12-channel ECG for an ambulance, a 12-channel ECG for the emergency room, a pulse oximeter, pressure gauge, stethoscope and otoscope.
“By presenting this donation, we want to participate actively in improving the protection and saving of human lives and in increasing the quality of urgent medical service for the well being of everyone”; said the Head of T-HT Business Sales, Mario Šimić on the occasion. “We have chosen urgent medical help as an area of the donation activities of T-Hrvatski Telekom because of its general importance for both the entire society and each individual regardless of his/her age, sex, place of living and social status. As a company with more than 2.8 million mobile and more than 1.5 million fixed users, we are aware that the efficient communication is often crucial for protection and saving of human lives. We want that every call for help ends up in good hands. We are particularly glad that Health Center Vukovar is one of the medical institutions to receive the donation this year”.
The Head of the Health Center Vukovar, mag.oec. Ante Lohinski added: “The new good-quality, modern medical equipment is very important for increasing the level of health protection, especially in the area of urgent medical help. Therefore, I have to thank T-HT for this valuable donation on behalf of the staff of the emergency ward of Health Center Vukovar (and on behalf of our patients), as well as on behalf of myself”.
By this project, T-Hrvatski Telekom continue the four-year practice of investing into urgent medical help. Up to now, T-HT donated almost HRK 10 million for procurement of medical devices, equipment, vehicles and for educational projects.
By presenting this donation T-Hrvatski Telekom confirmed once again its status of a company that puts a strong emphasis on the socially responsible business practice and care for the community in which the Company operates.
