The equipment was bought with money from the sale of unnecessary clothes. Odessans brought these clothes and handed them over to special containers "Clothes that help".

And then the team sorted it out and sold the best ones in the “DobroButik” store.

In September, thanks to these projects, a special lamp for surgical interventions was replaced in the operating room of the Odessa Regional Hospital for children. Before that, they had a 1965 lamp.
