CPhI Worldwide to partner with International Medical Corps UK
CPhI Worldwide has formed a dedicated charity partnership with International Medical Corps UK to help raise funds, awareness and engagement from the pharma community for the charity’s global work.
International Medical Corps UK delivers lifesaving healthcare and medicine on the frontlines of conflicts, natural disasters, famines and disease outbreaks. Donations garnered through this collaboration will support worldwide relief, recovery and development projects such as midwifery training, emergency nutrition, clean water, improved sanitation and vaccination campaigns. Additionally, they will enable the charity to perform wider training efforts that will equip local people with the knowledge and skills to be their own best first responders.
Event organisers, UBM, will encourage its 100,000+ strong database to provide sponsorships through various charity packages and direct donations. Additionally, as a further incentive for charitable donations a range of free advertising and promotion opportunities at the annual CPhI Worldwide exhibition will be on offer from UBM.
“This year we have partnered with International Medical Corps UK due to the outstanding work they carry out, from providing materials for sanitation and hygiene to emergency nutrition, on an international scale. More specifically, they provide their services in regions where people have very limited or no access to healthcare and medicine and in extremely challenging emergency situations. Their commitment and bravery is beyond reproach,” emphasized Rhylie Luanweir, senior group marketing manager at UBM EMEA. “CPhI Worldwide is a great platform to raise awareness of these communities in need, and motivate the pharma industry to incorporate charity giving into their business by simplifying the process. Businesses can extend their support in the form of purchasing packages, donating medicine or direct donations.”
“UBM’s long-standing commitment to the humanitarian sector makes them an ideal partner, and we’re thrilled to be working together. International Medical Corps have been given a fantastic opportunity to share our experiences with an industry integral to our work. The support of businesses, individuals and organisations like UBM is absolutely essential in order for us to continue to deliver life-saving care to the people who need it the most,” added Kevin Noone, executive director, International Medical Corps UK.
