Corporate Philanthropy

This phenmenon is prevalent in third world countries like ours.They come as things like "heart walk" or "awreness programmes" on days like world diabetic day.Emininent medical persnolaties are invited to participate.Sponsoring is done by pharmaceutical industry.During the event they get the advantage of getting

The sponsors taker the advatage of the fact that the State is devoid of funds to finance such activities.
