'I am pleased that the funds collected for our project 'Doing good Every Day' helped the County Hospital of Čakovec, by donating modern medical equipment that will enable better treatment and growth of small patients in Međimurje County. The project 'Doing Good Every Day' was launched ten years ago to help our community on the long term and continuous basis, those who need our help the most: small patients and children without parental care and with developmental difficulties. We are proud of the achievements we have accomplished in the ten years of our project: more than 14 million HRK and 36 donations to paediatric departments and child hospitals and social welfare homes, enabling safer development of small patients and better life for children in social welfare homes in 25 cities and 19 counties. The County Hospital Čakovec is of particular importance for the treatment of small patients in Međimurje County and I hope that new medical devices will contribute to their better treatment', said Dinko Lucić, Chairman of the Management Board of Privredna banka Zagreb.
