Being a patient is never easy, the situation can be very difficult and sometimes involves a loss of control, independence and even dignity. Patients often depend on others to care for and support them unhelpfully. The donation program set is to support projects, activities and initiatives that facilitate the life /mental health/ of patients and their carers, creating a more comfortable and safe environment and offering psychological support during treatment or recovery. We support initiatives or programs that positively impact the lives of patients and their families. For Teva, sometimes the "best medicine" is not the medicine itself, but the care, empathy, empathy, support for the patient.

Patients, caregivers, relatives of patients who care for them, involved in projects and initiatives developed in hospitals, health centers, institutions, patient associations, foundations or other legal entities, for which the special regulations indicate that they are non-profit, carrying out its activity on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria ("non-profit organization").
