DKK 50 million to new donation programme

5 Sep 2007

In connection with its 50th anniversary, Coloplast is launching a donation programme that is expected to donate DKK 50 million over the next ten years to health-promoting projects in countries in which access to medical devices is limited.

 

Education and training of health professionals within ostomy, urology & continence or wound & skin care are areas that might receive financial support.
With this programme, Coloplast wishes to contribute to improved well-being for people across the world, but with the main emphasis on the less developed countries.
Coloplast will appoint an independent assessment committee that will be charged with prioritisation of selected health projects. Coloplast expects to make donations to the first specific health projects within one year.
The donation programme can form part of joint projects or collaboration with other organisations that also promote health and treatment.
