Last week, Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia visited the children dental clinic in the Health Centre of the city of Topola. Thanks to the generous donation of 20.000 euros through the Crown Princess Katherine Foundation, the children’s dental clinic in the Health Centre “St. George” from Topola has been completely reconstructed and fully equipped with all the necessary equipment as well as new furniture.
During the visit, Dr Jovica Zikic, the Health Centre’s director, said: “This donation is in great need and thanks to Mrs Anka Jakšić Erne and the Foundation of HRH Crown Princess Katherine. The Children Dental Clinic has been brought to a completely new and functional condition that will be in use for at least 30 years.”
Crown Prince Alexander also held a speech in which he said: “I wish to very warmly thank Mrs Anka Jakšić Erne for her great generosity and my wife Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Katherine and her foundation for completing this wonderful dental clinic for children. This Dental Clinic will serve the children and people of Topola”.
“On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to express my great gratitude to Mrs Anka Jakšić Erne for this donation and her commitment to humanitarian work that helps people in Serbia for many years. The Serbian people can be proud of such generous and caring people from the diaspora, who haven’t forgotten their homeland and who are always there to support the humanitarian action of my Foundation,” said Crown Princess Katherine.
This significant donation enables the children to have good dental care and to enjoy a new and more pleasant space and experience when coming to the dental clinic. It will be significantly easier and provide big support for doctors and staff of the Health Centre to perform their daily duties.
In 1993, Crown Princess Katherine founded the Lifeline Humanitarian Organisation, which currently has offices in Chicago, New York, Toronto, London and Athens. This organisation, together with the HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation, works to collect money for medical equipment that has been delivered to numerous hospitals in Serbia.
