| As a pharmaceutical company we are well aware of our social responsibilities. CROMA is dedicated to sharing our knowledge and experience to improve health standards especially in underdeveloped regions of the world. For example, pharmaceuticals, viscoelastic fluids and intraocular lenses, which are distributed by us, are desperately needed in Africa for cataract surgeries – cataract causes 50% of all blindness in developing countries.
For many years we have been supporting the internationally-active relief agency LIGHT FOR THE WORLD with our ophthalmic products and expertise. LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is a European confederation of national development NGOs committed to saving eyesight, improving the quality of life and advocating for the rights of people with disabilities in the underprivileged regions of our world. As a lifetime platinum sponsor we are one of their main supporters. We are committed to invest our resources to improve the quality of living of visually handicapped and blind people in economically challenged regions of the world. Our humanitarian engagements make a small but crucial contribution to the ophthalmologic care in developing countries. |
