(6 Dec) Another Successful MED-Bul Project Realized (+GAL)
Another successful MED-Bul Project realized by Rotary Club Sofia International in partnership with Rotary Club Bansko-Razlog. Rotary Club Sofia International has realized a number of MED-Bul projects in the past years related to provision of transportation for donations of medical equipment from Austria, Germany and other countries to Bulgarian hospitals. The items donated are very much needed in the hospitals in Bulgaria.
Rotary Club Oberes Murtal in Austria has collected donations of used medical equipment from different hospitals and private donators and has contacted Rotary Club Sofia International for support to find beneficiaries and possible interest in Bulgaria.
In cooperation with Rotary Club Bansko-Razlog the donation was realized successfully. One full container was delivered from Austria on 6 December 2021 in Bansko with the kind support of the transport company Josped. The organization and coordination from Rotary Club Sofia International was realized again by Mr. Rumen Russinov, the President Elect 2022-2023. Without his professional support, the project would not have been possible.
The donation included 3 medical beds, 40 wheel chairs / loungers, 70 rollators, 30 bedside tables, incontinence pads, 2 oxygen devices, treatment couch, crutches and others. The beneficiaries are to be hospitals and homes for elderly people and people with disabilities in Bansko region – Razlog, Gotse Delchev. The transportation cost was provided by Rotary Club Bansko-Razlog (approx. 1800 EUR).
One delivery of full truck was organized and a storage place in Bansko was provided by the members of Rotary Club Bansko-Razlog. After the delivery the equipment was directed to the beneficiaries in need.
Rotary Club Sofia International expresses its gratitude to Rotary Club Oberes Murtal for the donation and to Rotary Club Bansko-Razlog for the successful completion of the project.
