TORONTO, March 24,
2022 /CNW/ - Scotiabank, MD Financial Management Inc.
(MD) and the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) are pleased to
announce today a $200,000 donation
in support of UNICEF Canada's Hope, Help and Healing
appeal. The funds will urgently address children's healthcare needs
in Ukraine, including support for
health care workers caring for children and youth, strengthening
the on-the-ground infrastructure, securing critical medical
supplies, and providing key services and safe spaces for children
and their families. UNICEF Canada's Hope, Help and
Healing appeal was launched earlier this month with the
collaboration of Children's Healthcare Canada and Pediatric Chairs
of Canada.
Today's donation matches the $200,000 commitment made by the CMA Foundation
and is in addition to Scotiabank's commitment of over $1 million in Ukrainian aid to support
humanitarian and resettlement efforts. This contribution is made
possible through a 10-year, $115
million pledge by the CMA, MD and Scotiabank to support
physicians, medical learners and the communities they serve across
Canada. The collaboration has
committed more than $40 million to
date.
