Protecting frontline workers is one of the primary ways in which we can prevent the spread of coronavirus. Through the NGO Caravana cu Medici, the organizers of this fundraiser managed to put together and send a variety of boxes containing medical protective and preventive equipment. In a couple of days, they sent 10 of those packages, each totaling RON 10,000 (approx. $2,500) to institutions around the country.
The contributions of Dr. Mihail Pautov were substantial, as he managed not only to coordinate and mobilize the team but also to use his image as a driving force.
