Hospital da Luz Coimbra offered equipment to the National Association for Youth Support (ANAJovem), a non-profit private institution of social solidarity developing actions of support and social reintegration near drug-addicted, homeless or in risk situation youths. The donated material consists of 10 hospital beds in very good condition, which will now be used by the users of the temporary residential unit of the association, in Póvoa de São Martinho, Coimbra.
For Fernanda Pereira, president of the board of ANAJovem, this donation "has a very significant meaning", since it "meets the urgent need to replace the old and damaged beds in poor condition". "Being hospital beds, they represent for our users higher comfort and greater ease in the bed linen maintenance. On the other hand, ANAJovem is thus able to contribute to a sustainable development and circular economy, since with this Hospital da Luz donation, the association minimizes waste and fosters a reduction in potential environmental impacts", she adds.
For Hospital da Luz Coimbra, being close and supporting the community is also part of its mission to take care.
