Virgin Unite

Dr Da Vinci has just received a lovely email from Christie Constantine at Virgin
Unite. It read:

What inspiring work you are doing.

We would love to feature your organisation in our newsletter. Are you
happy for us to do so and if so can you please provide us with a caption
for the photo below so we know who is who.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Christie

Virgin Unite (VU) is the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group. It believes that business can be a force for good and because Sir Richard picks up all their overhead costs, they can ensure 100% of all donations go to the front line, where it matters most.


Dr Da Vinci has been a member of virgin unite for over a year and enjoys the fact that like the Flying Doctors, the group believes in the use of market mechanisms to achieve social good.

VU has already identified the problems associated with providing fast, cost effective healthcare within Africa in it's support of the life-saving Heaven's Angels initiative in sub-saharan Africa.

Dr Da Vinci and the FD team are looking forward to working further with the VU team both on the Flying Doctors Nigeria project and other projects that look into sustainable ways to provide good quality, timely, cost-effective care in developing countries.

Our feature will be published and on the blog shortly.

Thanks again to Christie and the VU team. Keep up the incredible work!!
