Together we have done a very important thing!  FUIB has proved once again that we are a TEAM. It should be understood that in this difficult time, not only suits and respirators are important for doctors but also emotional support. The work of volunteers, joint effort of indifferent people like us at FUIB, provides them with the strength and energy to fight COVID-19. Their gratitude and warm words touch the very heart.
