Dear friends of SAMA, As you know, many parts of Serbia have been experiencing a rapid uptick in COVID-19 cases and deaths after lockdown restrictions were lifted last month. We have been in touch with several health center directors with whom we have worked on projects in the past about the current state of affairs in their hospitals. While the patient volume has been increasing significantly, there appears to be no immediate shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) or ventilators. However, as this trend in patient volume continues, shortages might become a problem in the near future.
While SAMA activities have been mostly suspended for the year, we feel compelled at this time to support the efforts of healthcare providers in Serbia who risk their lives daily in service of our Serbian brothers and sisters. As such, SAMA is raising funds for health centers throughout Serbia, in anticipation of future demand for PPE.
If you are interested in contributing towards our fundraising efforts, or if you would like to learn more about how these funds will be used, please follow this link.
Lastly, we recognize the financial hardships brought on by the pandemic. If you are unable to donate, please support our campaign by sharing this link or email with others in your community.
We thank you for your support and hope to see you soon.
In good health,
SAMA Board
