HEINE supports aid organisations

We do what we do best: help

As one of the world’s leading medtech manufacturers, we aspire to make the highest-quality diagnostic instruments to give patients the greatest possible chance of improving their health. However, we are well aware that access to preventive medical care and treatment isn’t something people take for granted everywhere. Around 50% of people in Africa alone, or at least 400 million people globally, do not have access to adequate healthcare. That’s why we’re involved in international initiatives – to offer all patients the chance of obtaining medical treatment wherever possible.

This is the reason why we regularly support various aid projects like Aktion Volta Augenklinik e.V. in Kpando, Ghana, or Aktion Tschernobyl-Hilfe e.V. in Ukraine, both of which you can read more about below. But we also do our bit regionally – by making donations to support accident-related care and healthcare.

Artemed Foundation

The Street Doctors provide free physical healthcare to vulnerable children in Bolivia in three mobile children's clinics and look after their mental well-being. The doctors, dentists and paramedics are there for them, listening, comforting and helping wherever they can.

Thousands of children fight for survival every day on the streets of Bolivia's capital, La Paz. They are often defenceless against hunger and abuse. When illness strikes, they have no chance without a caregiver or medical care.

HEINE has been supporting this project since 2023.

Aktion Tschernobyl-Hilfe e.V.

The association set up by founder Rita Limmroth is committed to helping people affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Even today, many people are still struggling with the health implications of the 1986 super MCA. Many local hospitals are inadequately equipped, and an adequate medical infrastructure only exists in some places. The main focus is on the children’s hospital in the city of Lutsk.

HEINE has a long-standing partnership with the association and plays an active role in its commitment in Ukraine. By making regular donations in kind, we support the local doctors by providing diagnostic instruments and would like to provide the children with the medical treatment they so desperately need.

Bavarian Red Cross, Starnberg

The regional association of the German Red Cross is usually among the first on the scene when it comes to rescue or accident-related care for people in Bavaria. To help it succeed in this endeavour HEINE also supports the approximately 850 full-time employees and about 1,000 volunteers by providing donations in kind. To name but one example, we kit out the ambulances and the first-aiders’ equipment with our instruments and, in so doing, assist with local emergency rescue efforts.
