As part of its traditional donation to emergency medical services, Hrvatski Telekom handed over funds to the County Hospital Čakovec at the press conference held in Čakovec today. This institution received a donation of HRK 200,000, which was the second one out of four donations to be given to institutions all over Croatia. Apart from the County Hospital Čakovec, HRK 200,000 was donated respectively to the Health Center of the Požega-Slavonia County, Emergency Medical Service Pazin, and Health Center Korčula.
The donation of Hrvatski Telekom was received by Dragutin Kopasić, M.D. Anesthesiology Specialist, Head of the County Hospital Čakovec, who said on that occasion: "I thank very much to Hrvatski Telekom for its financial donation, which we will use to purchase a portable ventilator for children and adults, a device of vital importance when taking care of the most severely affected patients (from premature babies to adults), which will enable transport of the highest quality within the institution and to clinics in Zagreb.”
When handing over the donation on behalf of Hrvatski Telekom, Milivoj Fruk, Senior Manager for Business Sales, reminded that the company started providing support to emergency medical services in 2006 with the aim of direct participation in the improvement of health and saving of human lives and increasing the quality of health protection.
HT started providing support to emergency medical services five years ago, led by the idea that fast and efficient communication was frequently crucial in the saving of human lives. Emergency medical services were selected as the recipient of the donation because of their general significance for both the society as a whole and individuals, regardless of their age, gender, place of residence, or social status. The total value of donations that HT so far has granted to emergency medical services is almost HRK 11 million, which also confirms the status of the company that places a strong emphasis on socially responsible business operations and care of the community in which it operates.
