In relation to the state of emergency provoked by natural disasters, numerous people from Serbia and abroad, wishing to donate necessary medicines and medical equipment, contacted the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia. As a result of the state of emergency, it is necessary to provide additional amounts of certain groups of medicines and medical equipment for which there is an increasing need of the population.
