Magyar Telekom has made a donation of HUF 1 818 750 to the ADRA-Vitium Foundation: the money will be used to buy a new examination head for the cardiac ultrasound equipment of the Children’s Department of the Miskolc Hospital.

The ADRA-Vitium Foundation has received the donation through application from the Magyar Telekom Gives Back program. The check was presented to the head of the Department Prof. Dr. László Barkai and senior surgeon Dr. Ágnes Boros by Tamás Révy, head of the North Hungary Service Center of Magyar Telekom.
The department makes some 2500 cardiac ultrasound examinations annually. Because of the different body dimensions of the patients, precise examination requires heads of different penetration capacity. The instrument is exposed to much wear and tear and needs replacement every 2-3 years.
The ADRA-Vitium Foundation regularly assists the hospital with the purchase of cardiology equipment, they have already donated ECG, patient monitors and blood pressure meters to the department.

As the most prominent business donor of the country, Magyar Telekom makes a special point of supporting health and education.
The board of the Magyar Telekom Gives Back program meets and decides on the applications submitted four times a year, in February, May, September and mid-November.
