Apr 21 2010
As relief efforts continue following the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, VWR International is to contribute essential firstaid and medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, including gloves, hand sanitisers and respirators valued at approximately $200,000. The recently-launched VWR Foundation will also make a financial contribution to Doctors Without Borders., in support of the volunteer doctors and nurses as they continue to provide urgent medical care to victims.
"The devastation of the recent earthquake has reminded all of us that we must band together to utilise our strengths in Haiti’s time of weakness," said John M. Ballbach, Chairman, President and CEO of VWR and President of The VWR Foundation. "For the Company and now the Foundation, we will continue to support research, science education and health and well-being across the globe. We hope that our contributions to the volunteer doctors and nurses will provide them the relief they need to continue treating victims and saving lives."
