A non-government organization (NGO) in Germany is set to turn-over eight (8) boxes of medical supplies donated by the German Ministry of Defense to Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital (NOPH) on September 18, 2006 at the NOPH Medical Conference Room.
The turn-over ceremony will be led by Ms. Nanette Tindoc, Supporting Officer of the German NGO Sampaguita Deutsch-Philippinischer Club, who will hand over the hospital supplies to NOPH represented by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Felix Sy.
The donated medical supplies include hospital instruments/consumables, gauze bandages, injections, needles, blades, oxygen mask, catheters and surgical instruments.
Tindoc said the Sampaguita Deutsch-Philippinischer Club led by its chairman and founder Araceli Bejar-Heimann facilitated the donation and shipping of the medical supplies from the German Ministry of Defense after the latter visited the provincial hospital.
She saw the poor condition and the crowded rooms when she visited the hospital, says Tindoc.
Tindoc said this donation is just a start as the NGO hopes to extend more humanitarian assistance here.
Heimann is a Dumagueteña married to a German national. A former teacher at Silliman University, she founded an NGO in Germany along with other Filipinos, mostly Filipino women married to German citizens.
Sampaguita Deutsch-Philippinischer Club is an NGO that aims to extend humanitarian assistance, particularly for Filipino children.
The boxes of medical supplies were forwarded by the German Balikbayan Quality Service.
