Maternity ward receives donation from B92-led campaign

BELGRADE -- The B92 Fund and Komercijalna Bank humanitarian campaign "Together for the Babies" continued on Friday when new equipment was donated to a Belgrade hospital.

The Gynecology and Obstetrics Ward of the Clinical Center of Serbia thus became the second medical institution that received medical equipment thanks to this joint campaign.

The bank's clients directly increase the campaign's funds by using debit and credit cards instead of cash when making payments, incurring no extra costs to themselves.

Namely, for each payment made by its clients in this way, the bank sets aside RSD 2 toward the campaign to renovate maternity wards in Serbia. The campaign will last through December 31.

"We are very happy and proud because 'Together for the Babies' truly justifies its name. Thanks to our customers and together with our partner - the B92 Fund, we were able to just a month after the first donation once again provide conditions for better care and a sense of security to future mothers, better working conditions for the staff. And we do not intend to stop there - see you soon in Knjaževac," said Slavica Đorđević, a member of the Executive Board of Komercijalna Bank.

So far, in the campaign "Battle for Maternity Wards" raised cash and equipment worth more than EUR 2 million, fully equipped 11 maternity and child clinics (two clinics in Novi Sad, and in Sremska Mitrovica, Užice, Kragujevac, the KBC Zvezdara in Belgrade, Kraljevo, Vršac, Pančevo, Šabac and Leskovac). Another 47 maternity and children's clinic are awaiting new equipment.

Chairman of the B92 Fund Board Veran Matić was also present when the hospital received the donation...
