A team from Bulgaria’s Military Medical Academy set off Friday to take part in the earthquake relief operations in Haiti.
The team, which is comprised of 3 doctors and 2 nurses, will operate within the French armed forces at the field hospital on the island of Martinique.
Bulgaria’s Military Medical Academy is also preparing a second team for Haiti relief but it is still unclear if there will be sufficient funding in order to send it to the Caribbean.
Bulgaria’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Marin Raykov, declared that the second team might be sent to Haiti depending on the development of the situation and the performance of the first Bulgarian relief team.
