C&A supports the Ana Rukavina Foundation by making a donation
The company C&A, a world renown fashion house, has made a donation worth 8,500 kuna to support the years of effort made by the Ana Rukavina Foundation in order to save as many leukemia sufferers as possible. The entire amount of the donation will be used toward expanding the Registry of voluntary bone marrow donors and to HLA tissue type the collected blood samples, both of which increase the patients’ chances of finding a bone marrow donor.
>>“Students for the Ana Rukavina Foundation”
For the fifth year in a row, the Ana Rukavina Foundation will organize the traditional humanitarian Christmas concert “I want life” on Ban Jelačić Square. The students of the Medical School and the Student Union of the University of Zagreb will also organize an action for people to join the Registry of voluntary bone marrow and stem cell donors.

The Foundation’s public tenders make a major contribution to the personal professional development of the grantees, the environment in which they work and the well-being of the patients they treat – thus a contribution of great importance to the environment in which we live.
Barbara Dreta, M.D.
I believe that these forms of education are the most significant ways of establishing long-term education, which will leave a lasting mark in the way of considering possible approaches in the treatment of the patient and their implementation.
Zinaida Perić, M.D., PhD
Professional training is an absolute necessity and even more of a necessity in an area such as hematology, especially in methods that are developing as rapidly as bone marrow transplantation. There was no similar organization in Croatia before, and the Ana Rukavina Foundation provided young hematologists with a unique opportunity to gain new knowledge, thus improving care for hematology patients.
Nevenka Cigrovski, M.D.
The funds allocated by the Ana Rukavina Foundation for professional training abroad are a true investment in the future of Croatian healthcare. These educations are an excellent opportunity for young doctors, but also a great contribution to the future of the entire Croatian healthcare system.
Ana Zelić Kerep, M.D.
Going to the US was a dream come true thanks to the support of the Ana Rukavina Foundation. The foundation recognized the importance of investing in young doctors and I was one of the lucky ones to get the opportunity.
Vibor Milunović, M.D.
Public tenders for international training are a commendable activity of the Ana Rukavina Foundation because there is no systematic training within the healthcare system for young hematologists. By providing funding, the Foundation provides a continuing opportunity for young physicians to educate abroad, thereby opening unprecedented opportunities for physicians to advance professionally.
