Medtronic, Inc. announced in a press release that it has pledged $100,000 through the Medtronic Foundation to support flooding relief efforts in Pakistan.

The $100,000 will be directed to the American Refugee Committee (ARC) to support mobile health teams working in the affected regions. Medtronic employees worldwide also are offered 5 days of paid leave to assist in relief efforts, according to the release.

This donation is in addition to an existing 5-year, $500,000 grant to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies disaster relief fund, which ensures that immediate financial support is available for responding to emergencies, the company said.
