Moldova Medical Book Project:

Over 20,000 current medical books and journals have been sent to the Scientific Medical Library  in Moldova in eastern Europe.  This donation has improved the health of the Moldova citizens by providing current authoritative medical information.  Moldova is the poorest country in eastern Europe, and is in dire need of help.  The Wilmington East Rotary  gave 300 English language dictionaries to send to the library.

   Donna Flake and Diane Darrow of the SEAHEC Medical Library in Wilmington coordinate the project.  Over the last four years they have traveled to the Moldovan medical library three times to provide training and consultation with doctors and medical librarians.

 

    The project also provides the Moldovan medical library with current medical information through databases, and also medical journal articles upon request. 

 

   This is an ongoing project which is supported by the Wilmington East Rotary.
