Abbott Laboratories helps ARAM’s ‘Heart to Heart’ campaign

Abbott Laboratories, represented by VJ Salomone Pharma, have teamed up with ARAM, the National Association for Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, to organise a workshop themed ‘Heart to Heart’.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis crafted heart-shaped decorative cushions which were then donated to the young patients of Puttinu Cares at the Rainbow Ward at Mater Dei Hospital last month following a rheumatology conference.
Prof. Carmel Mallia, consultant rheumatologist and honorary president of ARAM, chaired the meeting along with president Mary Vella. Honorary guests included Marios Kouloumas, chair of the EULAR Standing Committee of People with Arthritis/Rheumatism in Europe, committee members Joe Camilleri, president of the Commission for People with Disability, and Marion Rizzo, CEO of Mater Dei Hospital.
This initiative was carried out as part as an international campaign by Abbott Laboratories to promote and implement the company’s key core values, which are pioneering, achieving, caring and enduring.
