Overview
As part of its commitment to responsible global citizenship, Abbott and the Abbott Fund work with trusted partner organizations to respond to disasters around the world. Most recently, the Abbott Fund provided over $3 million in cash to the Japanese Red Cross, AmeriCares and World Vets in response to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and more than $1.1 million in critical diagnostic, nutritional and pharmaceutical products to address immediate and longer-term recovery needs following the flooding in the U.S., Thailand, Pakistan, South and Central America, and the earthquake in Turkey. In 2010, the Abbott Fund granted more than $930,000 in cash and $7 million in product in response to disasters, including the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, and the flooding in Pakistan and Indonesia. This includes products pre-positioned throughout high-risk locations in the Gulf Coast, Central America and the Caribbean in advance of hurricane season as part of Abbott's yearly Hurricane Season Strategy.
