A Teddy named Tommy: Helping Little Ones in Big Moments

In emergencies, every second counts — but so does every gesture of comfort.

​The district ambulance service in Stormarn, where Transo-Pharm is based, has introduced a heartfelt initiative: every ambulance now carries a comforter teddy to help calm and support children in distressing situations.

Imagine this: a small child, scared and overwhelmed after an accident. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, strange equipment, and flashing lights, they may not understand what’s happening — only that they’re afraid. That’s where Tommy the teddy bear comes in. Offered by a calm paramedic, this cuddly companion helps break the fear, build trust, and make treatment just a little bit easier.

Research and experience show: when children feel safe, they respond better to care. And early positive interactions with first responders can shape their lifelong trust in healthcare systems.

At Transo-Pharm, we believe healthcare isn’t just about medicine and APIs — it’s about humanity. That’s why we’re proud to support the Stormarn ambulance service by helping fund the purchase of these comforter teddies. It’s a small gesture with a big impact.

By the way, here’s what Tommy looks like:
