Hikvision USA Inc., global provider of security hardware equipment and software solutions, donated US$ 15,000 and security equipment to the Team 5 Foundation. All funds raised will allow the Team 5 volunteers to assist with natural disasters and medical deployments.
Team 5 is a veteran platinum-rated medical nonprofit organization that deploys volunteers to dangerous and difficult-to-reach areas around the globe to teach medicine to local health practitioners, run free dental and medical clinics, and support communities after a natural disaster. Team 5 also donates medical supplies, solar lights, and clean water units. Part of the World Health Organization, the nonprofit is given special permission to enter areas that others cannot.
