Swiss Red Cross
As an official partner of the Swiss Red Cross (SRC), Helsana is committed to the health and well-being of Switzerland’s population. We work to promote first aid, including when somebody needs it due to mental health problems.
Giving blood saves lives
Helsana has actively supported the SRC’s annual blood donation campaign for many years. Safe blood supply enables professionals to save lives following accidents, illnesses or childbirth complications. Swiss Transfusion SRC, together with 11 regional blood transfusion services, ensures that hospitals in Switzerland can rely on sufficient blood supplies at all times.
A successful partnership
Helsana has been supporting the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) since the start of 2020. Our combined efforts enable as many people as possible to perform first aid in an emergency. This includes when somebody needs first aid due to mental health problems.
In spring 2020, the rise of COVID-19 meant that overcoming the pandemic became the focus of the partnership. The partners took the decision to make a joint solidarity contribution to the Swiss population. Helsana donated CHF 1 million to the SRC for its support functions. Helsana also supported the SRC’s Corona Emergency Fund.
