Within the traditional donation to emergency medical care centers, Hrvatski Telekom has donated funds to the Emergency Medical Care Center in Pazin at the press conference held today. This institution has been donated HRK 200,000, which is the last out of a total of four donations that have been handed over to health care institutions throughout Croatia. Apart from the Emergency Medical Care Center in Pazin, HRK 200,000 has been donated to County Hospital Čakovec, Health Center of Požega-Slavonia County and Health Center Korčula each.
The donation of Hrvatski Telekom was received by MD Ivor Ković, manager of the Emergency Medical Care Center in Pazin and Istrian Health Centers – branch Pazin, who said the following on this occasion: “Given the complexity of the area in which we operate and the severity of accidents we deal with, it is essential for us to have modern and high quality medical equipment .The donation of Hrvatski Telekom will help us replace the old and obsolete equipment with the new one which make it possible for our institution to achieve a high level of readiness”.
When presenting the donation on behalf of Hrvatski Telekom, Darko Ušić, senior manager for business customers said that the Company had started to support emergency medical care centers in 2006 already with the aim to directly contribute to improving the protection and rescue of human lives and raising the level of health care quality.
T-HT started support to emergency medical care centers five years ago, led by the idea that quick and efficient communication is essential when it comes to rescue of human lives. The emergency medical service was selected as a recipient because of its general importance for the society as a whole and for individuals, regardless of age, gender, residence or social status. The total value of HT's donations to emergency medical service amounts to nearly HRK 11 million, which confirms the status of HT as a company focused on corporate social responsibility and care for the community in which it operates.
