Hemofarm is the winner of the VIRTUS special award of the Trag Foundation for the last year’s most innovative project, for the ’Unbreakable’ campaign, which was launched with the aim of preserving mental health, fighting depression and stigma of patients.
’For more than six decades, this company has been caring for and fighting for people's health, both physical and mental, and so has the Hemofarm Foundation for almost three decades. We are very proud of the ’Unbreakable’ campaign, which has done a lot in the field of mental health treatment, providing professional support to people who are fighting against an invisible but powerful enemy. It is important to understand that, just like our body, mental illnesses can be treated and it is not a shame to ask for help. Many thanks to the doctors and experts who helped us and with their advice made the lives of many people easier, and also saved some of them’, said Ronald Seeliger, CEO of Hemofarm, and thanked the Trag Foundation, which once again recognized the importance of the support the company and its foundation provide to the community. To date, more than a million people have joined the ’Unbreakable’ movement, while more than 10,000 people have received help and support through the free and anonymous SOS line 0800 001 002, which was launched as a part of this campaign. Experts from four special hospitals for psychiatric diseases in Vršac, Kovin, Novi Kneževac and Gornja Toponica are answering these calls. The campaign is supported by 657 institutions, associations and organizations in the country and abroad, while the ’Unbreakable’ campaign has been awarded 11 international, regional and national recognitions so far.
The VIRTUS award has been presented by the Trag Foundation since 2007, under the slogan ’Don’t let the good deeds be hidden’, with the aim of recognizing companies and citizens whose strategic and philanthropic activities provide long-term contribution to community development.
