In the previous months, most donations in the region were directed at providing support to communities in the fight against the negative effects of COVID-19. The same trend continued last week.
We chose several inspiring stories from the region to share with you, which we hope will motivate you to show solidarity and provide support for your community in the fight against COVID-19.
Human Rights Committee Vranje donates medical equipment to Special Hospital for Lung Diseases Surdulica
Human Rights Committee Vranje representatives handed over the first part of the donation to the medical staff of the Special Hospital for Lung Diseases in Surdulica, meant to help in treating COVID patients.
The donation included 11 oximeters, 11 contactless thermometers, and 30 digital thermometers. The hospital will also receive an ECG machine as soon as the procurement is finished.
With the support of the community, the resources needed to buy the medical equipment were raised in a crowdfunding campaign on our platform Donacije.rs.
Human Rights Committee Vranje also noted that Group 484 and the Norwegian Embassy contributed significantly to the campaign by doubling each donation up to 120.000 RSD.
Diaspora donated for the health care system in Prijepolje
The Association Bosna - Sandžak from Turkey donated 30.000 Euros to support the health care system in Prijepolje.
The donation included surgical masks, cleaning supplies, medical and non-medical equipment.
However, this is not the first time diaspora delivered help to Prijepolje since the crisis began. Even during the first wave, the Turkish-Serbian Business Association responded by providing the support necessary at that time.
The hospital in Šabac received a portable X-ray machine
Last month, the General Hospital Laza K. Lazarevic in Šabac received a donation of 7.504.800 RSD from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. This donation was part of a wider initiative led by the B92 Fund aimed at helping Serbian health care institutions in the COVID-19 system.
B92 Fund mapped the institution's needs and purchased on the donor's behalf a mobile digital X-ray machine.
The portable radiographic device will allow the medical staff to perform X-rays of patients that are difficult to transport to be scanned on stationary machines. In the future, the machine will be used to diagnose patients admitted to intensive care units, and for performing X-ray scans during surgery.
