Ambassador
of Japan to Belgrade, Tadashi Nagai, and the Deputy Manager of UNICEF for
Serbia, Maria Luisa Fornara, have donated the equipment for storing and
transportation of vaccines to the Public Health Institute of Serbia "Dr
Milan Jovanovic Batut".
The equipment for maintenance of so-called cold
chain in the immunization system has been provided by UNICEF, thanks to the
donation from the Government of Japan in amount of 351,000 USD. According to
the announcement, the equipment consists of 300 big and 700 hand refrigerators.
The equipment will be sent to all health centers in Serbia because most of
these centers do not have appropriate equipment for maintenance of cold chain
for immunization or the existing equipment is old.
