Industry Continues Philanthropic Efforts to China and Myanmar Following Disasters
From the first surges of human suffering in China’s earthquake and Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in May, the medical technology industry has continued to provide compassionate care for survivors.
Information from reporting AdvaMed member companies demonstrate that the industry has provided more than $15 million (U.S.) monetary contributions and product donations to meet a wide variety of needs. Companies have provided medical aid in the form of hospital beds, purified water, lighting, vitamins and antibiotics, among other products.
On July 10, 2008, AdvaMed President Stephen J. Ubl sent a letter to Chinese Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong outlining the types of aid provided by member companies.
Read AdvaMed’s letter.
More examples of corporate giving appear in the Philanthropy area of AdvaMed’s Web site.
