The ultrasound group of Siemens Medical Systems last month donated $110,000 in ultrasound equipment and technical training to Albania in an effort to support the United Nations Population Fund in its medical care of Kosovo refugees. The Issaquah, WA-based group sent two Sonoline Versa ultrasound systems to Germany, where they were reconfigured to European electrical standards before being shipped to Tirana, Albania. The units were accompanied by a senior technical trainer from Issaquah who will install the systems and train healthcare providers in their use.

Siemens Ultrasound’s parent, Siemens AG of Munich, Germany, is also making a donation, offering approximately $55,000 in medical equipment spare parts to the Macedonian Ministry of Health. Siemens AG’s donation will be delivered to Skopje, Macedonia, and will be used primarily for x-ray departments and intensive care wards.
