Gruppo Mastrotto donates endoscopic machine to children’s ward
Italy-based leather manufacturer Gruppo Mastrotto is donating an advanced machine for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment to the paediatric surgery unit of the San Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza.

The machine will help specialists perform non-invasive diagnoses. To fund the initiative, Gruppo Mastrotto has invited its suppliers to make a donation in place of the traditional Christmas gifts.

Vicenza for Children APS is a nonprofit that provides financial support to struggling families, contributing to the purchase of pharmaceuticals and medical electronic devices. Mastrotto has  previously supported the organisation by building a room in the Pediatric Oncology-Hematology Unit.

In the past, the group set up the Centro Ricreativo per Anziani A Mastrotto senior recreation centre in Arzignano. It also donated an advanced device for mammary gland biopsy to the A.N.D.O.S (national organisation of women’s breast cancer surgical patients) nonprofit organisation and a wheelchair-accessible van to the S.O.G.IT. (first aid service of the Order of Saint John in Italy) nonprofit organisation.
