Turkey-Syria Earthquake Relief Initiatives
08/24/2023
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.
In early July 2023, Chief Corporate Advisor, Mr Makoto Nakao and the President of GC Europe visited 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 along with the Group’s support measures.
To assist in the recovery of dental clinics, GC Group will continue to maintain open lines of communication with the affected regions to comprehensively assess needs and provide adequate support.
