TIK extends its mission to Madagascar
Medical students who, on their own initiative, raise money and travel to underdeveloped tropical countries and provide medical assistance to residents there, are rare in the world. Medical expeditions to Africa have a long tradition in our country and students are happy to attend them, as they gain invaluable experience despite the hard work they do there in three months.
Students from the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana, Karmen Zrnec, Lara Petrič, Aljaž Bajc, Loreta Jerič and Timotej Brecelj are heading for one of this year’s humanitarian expeditions under the auspices of the Section for Tropical and Travel Medicine at the Slovenian Medical Association. They will spend three months in the village of Matanga, Madagascar – from August to October 2018.
At TIK we help every year
The project has high organizational costs that students are unable to cover on their own. The expedition depends entirely on donor funds, which will enable the supply of medicines, sanitary materials, transportation and accommodation of members in the area visited.
As a socially responsible company, TIK d.o.o. is aware of its integration into the wider social and natural environment. This is why we want to contribute to a better quality of life and development, both locally and internationally, as reflected through sponsorships and donations to humanitarian organizations and various expeditions. This time too, we helped the young team and provided them with essential medical supplies – injection needles, urinary catheters, probes and infusion systems.
