The EUR 5,800 cost to transport the container was covered by the America for Bulgaria Foundation. Our special thanks to the Austrian Red Cross who facilitated the import of the items into the European Union. The project was quite a success; providing the hospital with new operation tables, patient beds, mattresses and sheets, thousands of syringes, bandages, tubing, gauze and disposable gloves at no cost to the under-funded facility. This year the RCSI will again coordinate a similar donation, this time estimated at around USD 300,000 worth of new and used medical supplies. This donation is destined for Pirogov hospital in Sofia. The 40′ foot container left the United States on the 27th of September 2010 and arrived in Bulgaria on 10 November 2010. Once again, the Austrian Red Cross is facilitating the transportation of the supplies. America for Bulgaria Foundation for a second year covered most of the transportation costs.
