“Any support to our medical personnel, for the improvement of their working conditions, for the quality of their work, deserves the most genuine respect and the utmost gratitude. Especially because the people who follow the Hippocratic Oath treat not only the sick – they treat our society too, against distrust, alienation and isolation. Therefore, everyone who supports the Healthcare Institutions Charity Fund also supports today’s and future Lithuania. Lithuania, where there are more not only physically but also emotionally healthy people, where there is more humanity, and where there is more Faith, Love and Hope. Thank you all who go along this path together!” says President Valdas Adamkus.
