Initiatives for Turkey-Syria Earthquake Relief and Visit to Turkish Dental Association
08/23/2023
The GC Group has donated products as emergency support for the Turkey-Syria earthquake that occurred on February 6, 2023.
This support was sent to affected areas through the Turkish Dental Association, and was allocated for initiatives to protect the oral health of the people living there by offering free dental care at temporary clinics immediately following the earthquake. It was also used to provide material and monetary aid to reconstruct environments where dental care could be provided.
Furthermore, in early July 2023, Chief Corporate Advisor Makoto Nakao and the President of GC Europe made visits to the Turkish Dental Association and the Turkish Dental Businessmen Association, offering their condolences for the earthquake and explaining the donations of products amounting to 100,000 euros in value and the GC Group’s support measures.
To assist in the recovery of dental clinics, the GC Group will continue to take stock of the situation through communication with the affected areas and provide adequate support.
