We intend to hold another 56th edition of our Open Tender this April. Due to the restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we had to put a hold on the process of purchase of medical equipment, but we want to come back to the spending money we raised last year. Grand Finale 2020 was held to improve conditions at children's surgical wards, so we are eager to pick up where we left off last year - buying sophisticated medical equipment used by surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses while performing operations.
Open Tenders allow us to buy only the best medical devices at the best prices. We can negotiate the prices, warranty periods, and training for medical personnel who receive comprehensive instructions on using the new equipment. However, what is more, important than the pricing is the fact that the team of our experts and engineers can inspect devices up close and personal and grill the vendors on the benefits and drawbacks of each device we buy. Our shopping process is always governed by the quality of equipment we invest in and the cutting edge technology we can introduce to public hospitals nationwide.
96 days before the 32nd Grand Finale, during the 67th Open Tender, we have revealed the aim of the upcoming winter fundraiser. This time, the GOCC Foundation will focus on the post-pandemic lung diseases - the raised funds will be used to purchase equipment for children's and adults' respiratory units.
The fight against sepsis was the main aim of the 31st Grand Finale fundraiser which ended with over PLN 243 million raised. In less than a year, we have organized two Open Tenders to purchase medical equipment for microbiological laboratories across the country.
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!
