Representatives of Podravka Company and one of children’s favourite mascots – teddy bear Lino visited children hospitalized in the Paediatric Clinic of the University Clinical Centre of the Republic of Srpska.

Head of the Paediatric Clinic Stojislav Konjevic, MD said: “ It’s holiday time and hospitalized children are more emotionally sensitive in this period, because they are separated from their families. Every year, representatives of Podravka try to cheer up children. Today, there are not many companies that are socially responsible. It is of utmost importance to be socially responsible towards children during the holidays and off holiday season. I am glad that today we have the opportunity to see joy and happiness in their faces. Also, I would like to invite all those that are able to dedicate more activities to children.”

Besides taking care of children’s health, employees of the Paediatric Clinic try to alleviate their fear and make hospital stay as nice as possible. They also make efforts to provide security and support to parents.

Mila Zovko, marketing director of Podravka B&H said: „The Paediatric Clinic is the last in a series of centres included in our action of gift-giving and delivering donations. Podravka B&H for many years launches these actions in order to make holidays of these children nicer and to provide support to the parents who take care of their children’s health on a daily basis”.
