This equipment is vital for the patients of the Intensive Care Units.
Arta Barzdina, the Head of the Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy Unit of the Children’s Hospital said the new equipment will be supplied to the patients of Intensive Care Unit, with help of “Tires with Heart”.
Liene Dambina, the Head of the Children’s Hospital Fund, stressed the importance of the Children’s Hospital having friends it can rely on every year.” The campaign “Tires with Heart” has become a warm-hearted and exciting event for us! Over the last 5 years, the organizers of the campaign have visited us numerous times, and now they know the needs of the hospital and its several units very well. We often say that children are the most important thing to us, therefore we say many thanks to the organizers and supporters of this campaign for transforming words into real work and contributions to our children’s health!”
The campaign “Tyres with Heart” is a charity initiative of the Pirelli Key Point network of tyre, which has been organised for the fifth year. During the campaign, Pirelli Key Point donated 1.44 EUR from each set of sold summer tyres to the Children’s Clinical Hospital; moreover, Latvian drivers also participated in the campaign, by donating in donation boxes placed in Pirelli Key Point tyre centres and to current accounts of the Children’s Hospital Fund.
