Ethiopian Telecom Company Ethio Telecom is celebrating the month of January with the motto of “January for Ethiopian Heart Diseased Children!” The telecom company is collecting support for the treatment of heart patients in the month of January.
The company said that “This month, we will donate 30 birr to the number of new followers who join our social media pages and 10 birr to the Ethiopian heart patients’ aid center!”.
A mother from Addis Ababa, who did not wish to be named, said that the company’s decision to raise support for heart patients is commendable.
The mother said that if other companies follow the example of Ethio Telecom and provide extensive support, it will be possible to overcome the lack of medical financing.
It is known that 10 thousands of heart patients in Ethiopia are facing problems without getting timely treatment due to lack of finances. Most of the heart patients are being treated with money collected from individuals and the community.
It is believed that Ethio Telecom’s approach is useful for showing the experience to the big companies for the support of cardiac patients and to solve the problem.
