NEW HEMOFARM PREPARATIONS TO APPEAR SOON

Record was taken of their health condition and habits at the beginning of 1948 and in 1971 their spouses and children
were invited to join the study, as well as their closest friends. It was noted that the probability was that 57 percent of their
closest friends had also gained weight in the last 32 years.
This effect had an impact as far as the third generation of friends, i.e. if a friend of an obese person had also become
obese, then his other friend would also become obese, and this within a much shorter period than 32 years.
These conclusions only confirmed the belief that obesity was not an individual problem anymore, but a problem of the
society – said Christakis.
This problem is the same even if the best friends were 500 kilometers apart and what the scientists pointed out was that
there would be no impact on you if you had an obese neighbour.
THE HEMOFARM DONATION TO THE SMEDEREVO HEALTH CENTER
AIR-CONDITIONERS FOR PATIENTS
In response to the appeals of the Health Center Sveti Luka in Smederevo, published in mass media, our Company reacted
promptly and donated eight air-conditioners to this health center at the time of the greatest summer heats.
Thanks to the prompt reaction, above all of the Hemofarm PR Center, the work itself at the hospital was and will be
significantly faciliated, and the patients of the health center will be able to put up better with their health problems.
With this humane gesture, Hemofarm showed again a high degree of care and responsibility for the health of people.
Besides providing a modern and efficient therapy for patients, Hemofarm supports the education of medical staff, and of
the whole population, and provides in various ways a better operation of health institutions throughout Serbia. In
cooperation with the Hemofarm Foundation, which has been operating successfully for 15 years, our company supports
the purchase of required equipment for hospitals and clinics. Thus the health center in Knić got a modern spirometer and
Hemofarm participated in the restoration of the surgical block in the health center in Vršac.
We are well-known for high quality, efficient and reliable medicaments of the latest generation, which are produced in
plants of the highest technological level following the GMP regulations, but we are also famous for the enviable
responsibility towards the social community, which we have been showing for a long time ago, much before the corporate
social responsibility was defined – said Gordana Lazić Velovan, the Hemofarm PR Center director.
She pointed out that this Hemofarm donation represented a modest contribution to the health care of patients in Serbia and
expressed hope that other big companies would support in a similar manner the operation of the Serbian healthcare.
While thanking for the given support, Dr. Nenad Đorđević, the director of the hospital of the health center Sveti Luka
pointed out that this support was more than necessary since the condition of patients in most departments was becoming
worse due to the high temperatures, which did not drop for days.
The decision made by our directors is to give all the air-conditioners which we get in the coming period through donations
only to patients and patients' rooms. Five of the eight air-conditioners will be placed in patients' rooms in the internal
department, surgery, children's department, in the psychiatry and the maternity departments. Three air-conditioners will be
for general medicine, because our clinics, where we have a large number of patients, are also without air-conditioners.
One clinic in the central facility of general medicine will get an air-conditioner this time, and two air-conditioners will go to
the health center – explained Dr. Đorđević.
Donate blood, Enrich your Life
Considering that the Institute for Blood Transfusion of Serbia makes more frequent appeals to the public for blood donation
in the course of the summer holidays due to blood shortages, the company Hemofarm organized for the second time this
year end of August a voluntary blood donation within its plant in Vršac.
