Lek assists Pediatric Clinic in move to the new buidling
On Saturday, June 27, the Pediatric Clinic in Ljubljana moved to the new building on Bohoričeva Street. Lek, a Sandoz company, assisted in this difficult and extensive process, which involved moving all of the medical equipment, as well as a huge amount of documents and archives from all of the Pediatric Clinic’s departments.
According to Marinka Purkart, Chief Nursing Officer at the Pediatric Clinic the most difficult part was moving the dialysis equipment, since it is extremely heavy and awkward to move. A great deal of effort was also required to move the documents and equipment from the location on Stara Pravda Street, which has no elevators. Therefore they are very thankful for Lek’s significant contribution, which made the full day of work moving to the new facilities faster and easier.
“Along with the rest of Slovenia, we at Lek, a Sandoz company, were very happy to hear that the new Pediatric Clinic would be opening soon, so we were glad to help them and, we hope, make the move at least a little easier. We hope that we helped the young patients to start getting better as soon as possible in the new and modern facilities,” said Lek Head of Corporate Communications Katarina Klemenc Dinjaški.
