14 years of the Ana Rukavina Foundation
A little more than 14 years ago, on one letter, and one simple, but sincere and great wish – the desire for life, the idea, and vision that the Foundation has been following for 14 years came about, and on Valentine’s Day 2007 we officially started our work.
>>The Ana Rukavina Foundation donated 500 tests for HLA typing to the University Hospital Centre Zagreb
Dear friends, The Ana Rukavina Foundation procured 500 tests for HLA typing of samples of potential donors who entered the Croatian Bone Marrow Donor Registry on February 2, 2021, in Vinkovci, prompted by a call for help in finding an unrelated donor for a seven-year-old girl, Lucija Šuvaković from Vinkovci suffering from acute myeloid leukemia.
>>World Cancer Day
Dear friends, today is marked World Cancer Day to raise awareness about cancer, its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

>>Želim život
Akcija "Želim život" je priča koja je počela sa Aninim pismom u kojem je rekla da sve njene želje stanu u te dvije riječi.
Banka krvi iz pupkovine

Alen Ostojić, M.D.
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.
