DUSHANBE, December 8, 2009, Asia-Plus — Tajik medical facilities will receive US$6.628 million worth of humanitarian aid that has been delivered to Tajikistan by the U.S. Department of State through Project HOPE ((Health Opportunities for People Everywhere), according to the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe.
An official ceremony of handover of the humanitarian aid that is offered to the people of Tajikistan at no cost is being held at the Republican Clinical Oncology Center in Dushanbe today.
The handover ceremony will be attended by representatives of the Ministry of Health of Tajikistan and the U.S Embassy in Dushanbe.
Founded in 1958, Project HOPE has a long history of working with doctors and pharmaceutical companies to implement humanitarian aid programs, health education and health reform in developing countries. Western Pharmaceutical companies support HOPE because they know their donations will not end up in warehouses, but will be escorted directly to hospitals. They also are familiar with HOPE’s rigorous monitoring to keep track of usage.
