About first aid
First aid is a fundamental aspect of healthcare that can mean the difference between life and death. Unfortunately, many communities in our country lack access to basic first aid supplies, leaving them vulnerable in emergency situations.
Tymcoin Pharma’s donation, will therefore be a testament to its commitment to ensuring the well-being and safety of all communities on Kroboland.
