FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, May 21 (FENA) - The branch office of the drug distributor "Hercegovinalijek" in Sarajevo yesterday handed over 36,480 pieces of rapid tests for coronavirus worth a total of 151,000 euros.

The Deputy Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Petra Kochendörfer, handed over this donation to Snježana Brčkalo from the Health Sector of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of BiH.

“In the sense of a global pandemic, the coronavirus does not threaten borders. Our response to this threat, therefore, must transcend borders, carried by the idea of solidarity between countries and peoples. That is why Germany wants to help and with as many quick tests as possible in difficult times,” said Kochendörfer.

The distribution of rapid tests to citizens throughout BiH will be performed by the BiH Ministry of Civil Affairs and the entity health institutions.

“This donation represents an effective response to the current coronavirus crisis and will contribute to increasing the healing rate in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ministry of Civil Affairs thanked the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany for the valuable donation, which contributes to better health care of our citizens,” said Brčkalo.

Kochendörfer expressed hope that this donation could be an additional step towards mitigating the effects of the coronavirus pandemic in BiH.

This donation includes 36,480 rapid tests of the "Clinitest" type from Siemens in the total value of 151,027.20 euros.

In addition, support for micro-projects related to the pandemic worth more than 150,000 euros is planned for the current year, and the handover of 6.5 million protective masks worth 4.4 million euros will be realized soon, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany to BiH announced.
