Medtech Ethiopia
Healthcare once completed , will not only become a massive benchmark for availability of insulin in Ethiopia , but will ultimately become a hub for the entire continent .
Corporate Social Responsibility Being a pioneer from a business sense is very important to Medtech Ethiopia , but being a positive influence in the country outside of its profit-making activities is every bit , if not more significant .
For the past 10 years the company has donated three percent of its net income to be distributed around the country to worthy causes , as part of its widespread Corporate Social Responsibility ( CSR ) programme .
“ This money goes to the poor and needy and we currently have 10 non-governmental organisations and charities that we regularly support , including work with the blind , providing spring water for 30,000 people in 13 rural areas and supporting rural elementary & secondary schools and two autistic centres ,” Dr . Nuri said .
“ We also work in association with the local university to provide scholarships for young students and are also very much involved in making sure that our manufacturing practices preserve the environment as best as possible .”
Once the EPHARM renovation has been completed , the business even has plans to open its own charity foundation , providing further aid to people unable to provide for themselves .
