“The Cantonal Civil Protection Directorate, by its order, mobilized Humanitarian Organization IFS-EMMAUS with all its material and technical equipment for the needs of the Cantonal Directorate and for the needs of the citizens of Tuzla Canton in the fight against the spread of the corona virus. The assessment of today’s fifth session of the Cantonal Directorate is that we have made a good move because the Association is well organized, they have their own initiative, they are productive and expeditious which is the most important thing today. Our needs that are expressed for health care centers in Canton are completed during the working day. Here, as a product of cooperation, we have this valuable donation, and before that there were two more donations that are primarily needed by hospitals and the most important item is the tests for the corona virus which are difficult to obtain even for the clinical center. Thanks to their connection with all institutions in BiH, through them I am able to procure the necessary things for the health sector to work’  said director Zoran Jovanovic in his address today.
