9.2.2010
T-Hrvatski Telekom presented today a donation intended for procurement of medical equipment for urgent medical help to the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka. On the occasion, mr.sc. Diana Florini, dr.med, the Head of the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka received a check for procurement of the required equipment from the Head of T-HT Business Sales, Vedran Kružić.
The donation to the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka 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.
“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, Vedran Kružić 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 the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka is one of the medical institutions to receive the donation this year”.
The Head of the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution in Rijeka, mr.sc. Diana Florini, dr.med thanked T-HT for the donation and former support. She said: “In the cases of sudden cardiac arrest, when CPR measures are required, it is extremely important to have the proper equipment that will enable provision of the efficient help. The HT HRK 285.000 donation for the Emergency Medical Treatment Institution, Rijeka will be used for purchase of a defibrillator/ transcutaneous electric stimulator with the option of 12-channel ECG recording and a device for external heart massage, for which I have to thank especially to HT.
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 continues 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.
