GASTROENTEROLOGY FOUNDATION e.V.
Better medicine for the world's poorest.
A long-standing member of the Nepal group of the Gastroenterology Foundation and an endoscope repair company have donated two gastroscopes for gastroscopies to the ETC. They are already in use! Thank you very much for this generous donation.
Zatti Dervishi, a great supporter of the Gastroenterology Foundation, together with the Kosovar international Mavraij, has brought a very well-preserved Erbotom to Pristina. A big thank you to the donors and our carriers! This project would not be possible without the selfless help of our supporters. We are very grateful for that.
The endoscope towers and endo-washers have arrived safely in Pristina. We would like to thank the companies Olympus and Treier Endoscopie and our donors who made the transport possible.
After weeks of waiting for clearance from Nepalese customs, our large aid shipment with accessories, repaired endoscopes and protective material has finally arrived at the ETC. We have just received the first photo showing our colleagues unpacking.
A big thank you to all donors!
Today, 620,000 CPA masks from Zettl, 50,000 surgical face masks from STRAMA and several boxes of protective material from Straubing Hospital were loaded into two containers and set off on their long journey to Nepal. The loading operation was thankfully carried out by Kühne+Nagel with a team of volunteers.
Many thanks to the donors and to Prof. Weigert and his team for their great coordination!
After months of waiting, a large delivery has finally reached the ETC in Dhulikhel. Our colleagues were able to unpack three repaired endoscopes, the new X-ray machine for the new ERCP room and coronavirus protective clothing. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all donors, especially the Merck Family Foundation and the Rotary Club Oerlikon.
We are very pleased to be able to start the new project cooperation with the Gastroenterology Department in Peramiho, Tanzania. The well-established Benedictine Mission Hospital will expand endoscopy.
