Health and well-being for all ages lie at the heart of Sustainability Development Goals 2030 (SDG). Grupo Acon’s understands the importance of this goal and has integrated it into its CSR strategy. Consequently, the company organized a total of 14 community health fairs in different locations of the province of Limon.
Throughout the month of June, not only workers, but also neighbors from our communities participated in these fairs. In fact, 1190 patients were able to attend; a number that the company aims to increase in future years.
Thanks to partnerships with the Social Security Bureau (CCSS) and the company’s economic, all of these services were free for the attendees. They included: blood tests, Pap tests (263) dental care (217), vaccines, and more than 180 awareness workshops.
Finally, the company’s role in the organization was to promote the fairs, to remind attendees about appointments and previous care, to organize the logistics to meet the expected attendance and to support the medical staff with working spaces and meals throughout the day.
