4.2.2010
T-Hrvatski Telekom presented today a donation intended for procurement of medical equipment for urgent medical help to the Health Center Slavonski Brod. On the occasion, Mr. Ivica Tečer, the Head of the Health Center Slavonski Brod received a check for procurement of the required equipment from the Large Enterprises Manager, Mario Šimić.
The donation to the Health Center Slavonski Brod is a part of a large donation of T-Hrvatski Telekom announced in December last year. The donation is intended for procurement of the needed medical equipment for six institutions providing urgent medical help all over Croatia including: Clinical Hospital “Sestre milosrdnice” in Zagreb, Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka, and emergency rooms in Community Health Centers in Vukovar, Šibenik, Dubrovnik, and Slavonski Brod. The total value of the donation amounts to HRK 1,151,500.00.
Health Center Slavonski Brod will use the received donation for purchase of two high quality defibrillators, two child resuscitation sets, two adult resuscitation sets, two LSU aspirators, ten cervical collars for adults, ten cervical collars for children and two sets of splints.
“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 T-HT’s Large Enterprises Manager, 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 Slavonski Brod is one of the medical institutions to receive the donation this year”.
The Head of the Health Center Slavonski Brod, Ivica Tečer, thanked T-HT for the donation and support and added: “I would especially like to emphasize the importance of this donation today at the time of the economic recession, when the budget resources that would be used for procurement of the new equipment are not increased. Moreover, I would like to point out to the high level of social responsibility of our donor and the ability to perceive and recognize the need for investing into non-profit projects and common good in the public sector, which will serve to all citizens of this county regardless if the are the current service users or business partners of our donor.”
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.
