Life science recruitment company, ProClinical, has celebrated hitting a recruitment milestone by making a charitable donation to a Ugandan healthcare charity.
Charitable donation
The company announced that the number of contractors working with them has surpassed 300, which triggered a celebratory £3,000 donation to River of Life, the company’s chosen charity partner.
River of Life delivers vital healthcare to those in need in the region of Masaka, Uganda. Past donations by ProClinical have assisted in the purchase of critical medical supplies as well as a car that can be used to reach those in isolated, rural areas who need medical aid.
A scheme has been set up by ProClinical that promises to donate £10 for every contractor. “The donation couldn’t be coming at a better time,” said Dr Sarah Giles, River of Life’s resident doctor. “Since there is a lot of need, it will make an immediate impact within the community.”
The company reports that monies raised will be used for essential baby units, supporting mothers and newborns, paying salaries of several nurses, covering repair costs and supplying medications and baby formula. Additionally, it will be used to assist families in purchasing health insurance for their children and save money on hospital bills.
A share of the donation will be used by River of Life’s sister sporting charity, Synergy, which helps impoverished football players by providing them with essential equipment they need to stay in school and be able to play football.
Continuing the charitable work with River of Life, ProClinical is also hosting a referral scheme for July, which will see a donation of £300 made to the charity on behalf of each contractor who refers a candidate that is successfully placed. In this scheme, the contractor will also be the beneficiary of £300 worth of vouchers.
