TIRANA, Sept 14 /ATA/ – Dr. Milen Vrabevski and the Bulgarian Memory Foundation made another generous contribution to address the needs of local residents in Pustec Municipality, including a mobile healthcare unit best equipped with necessary furniture and medical check-up equipment, wooden benches to be installed at main square of villages in the region and printers designed to meet the needs of municipal administration.
The donation was handed over during a ceremony attended also by the Bulgarian Ambassador to Albania, Ivaylo Kirov, in the village of Gollomboç, where the mobile healthcare unit was installed.
The portable healthcare unit provides suitable conditions for basic health checks, screenings and administration of vaccinations and injections on local residents who should otherwise travel to Pustec or Goricë e Vogël to receive care. Installation of the unit will also allow for employment of medical personnel in Gollomboç.
The wooden benches will be used for the decoration of outdoor spaces at central squares of the villages of Cerje, Zarashka, Shulin, Gollomboc Goricë e Madhe, Goricë e Vogël, Tuminec.
Copying and printing machines will be installed in the newly-renovated Pustec municipality building and they are part of an earlier donation provided by the Bulgarian Memory Foundation in April this year. Back then, the Foundation provided new town hall furniture, including 44 office tables, 44 shelves, 60 office chairs, a large table as well as 25 computers.
In 2023, on the Foundation’s initiative and funding, a team of world-famed Bulgarian physicians visited the Small Prespa area and conducted free preventive cardiological examinations of the local people in Pustec. The medical team, led by the world-renowned Bulgarian cardiologist Prof. Ivo Petrov, examined more than 200 people. A few months later, the Bulgarian foundation donated medical equipment and consumables to the health center in Pustec.
In 2020, the Bulgarian Memory Foundation donated an ambulance, a fire truck, and an off-road vehicle.
