On 22 August 2019 a full truck of medical equipment from Austria arrived at the hospital of “Sveti Ivan Rilski” in Razgrad. It is the second donation of medical equipment for poorly equipped Bulgarian hospitals within the joined project MED-Bul of our club, Rotary Club Sofia International, and Rotary Club Korneuburg and Rotary Club Klosterneuburg from Austria. This time the equipment was intended to be distributed within three multidisciplinary hospitals for active treatment – MBAL Razgrad, MBAL Shumen and MBAL Targovishte. The donation contained beds, medical equipment, walkers, bedding and work clothes to be used for the purposes of the hospitals. The staff of the hospital in Razgrad gave their contribution to the project by sorting and distributing the entire truck delivery within one week in their warehouse among the three hospitals.

The shipment was transported to the capital of Ludogorie region again with the assistance of the forwarding company “Jöbstl Bulgaria” Ltd., private individuals and the hospitals themselves.

The official handover ceremony and signing of the donation contracts took place on 3 September 2019 at the hospital of Razgrad where the Directors of the three hospitals were present. As an expression of their thankfulness for the donation our club received a plaque with a thank you note with the symbol of the city of Razgrad on it – a clock tower.

It is worth to mention the announcement of the hospital in Shumen that they will be saving from now on about 60 000 BGN per year because of the donated sterilization equipment from the first delivery.
