Christmas time is a time of giving. Supreme Court judges and staff participated in the charity campaign “Dod pieci”.

On Wednesday, the donated 1,430 euros were delivered to the “Dod pieci” tent in the Dome Square in Riga.

Having handed over the donation, the Head of Administration Sandra Lapiņa and Senator Rudīte Vīduša admitted that there was a true feeling of a deed well done.

The Senator visited the “Dod pieci” studio, where she was invited to a conversation about whether, from the court’s point of view, the state is doing enough to help people who do not have enough funds for necessary treatment, and what the court can help people with.

 

This year, the public media charity marathon “Dod pieci!” focuses on the healthcare gaps in Latvia, highlighting the financial dead-end faced by people with critical and acute health problems who need immediate help but the treatment costs of which are not covered by the state. The marathon runs from December 13 to 19, and by the evening of the December 18, 372,355 euros had already been donated.
