The Issaquah, WA-based group sent two Sonoline Versa ultrasound systems to Germany, where they were reconfigured to European electrical standards before being shipped to Tirana, Albania. The units were accompanied by a senior technical trainer from Issaquah who will install the systems and train healthcare providers in their use.

Siemens AGs donation will be delivered to Skopje, Macedonia, and will be used primarily for x-ray departments and intensive care wards.
