I am glad that the Alpion XCUBE i9 ECO machine went straight to work in Cardiology. Father Iordanis and Father Christodoulos delivered it personally, beautifully. In our hospital in Bulgaria such donations from the Church also help a lot, because the waiting lists are long.

I am glad that in your hospital in Bulgaria the church also helps with such devices - the wait is really long. Here in Sofia, I have also seen how such an ultrasound machine saves time for patients in cardiology. And what city are you from, if it's not a secret?

Методи Попов

I am glad that such things are happening in your hospital in Bulgaria. Here at Syar, the Alpion XCUBE i9 ECO machine already works every day and really relieves the cardiology clinic. Where exactly are you from, Varna by chance?

Богдана Митева

I am glad that you saw the benefit of such an ultrasound machine in Sofia as well - it really saves waiting. I am from Plovdiv, I am a teacher here. In which hospital do you work or are you just a patient?

Теодора Петрова

I'm glad that you value it so much in Plovdiv too - it really saves time and nerves. I'm from Veliko Tarnovo, a primary school teacher like you, but I don't work in a hospital, I'm just a relative of a patient who uses the cardiology department there. What school do you teach at?

Красимира Маркова

I am glad that in Plovdiv it is also being used with benefit - it really saves time in the waiting room. I'm from Rousse, I'm an accountant, but I often go to the cardiology department of the local hospital as a companion of elderly relatives. And how long have you been teaching?

Николай Атанасов

I'm glad that you are also using it with benefit in Ruse - it really saves time. I don't teach, I work as a seller in a store here in Plovdiv, but I often read about such donations from the church. How long have you been attending cardiology regularly as a companion?

Христо Василев

I am glad that you are also following these news in Plovdiv, Nikolay. I am from Ruse, but I heard about this device from acquaintances in Syar - it really saves doctors time. I have been going to cardiology as my wife's companion for about two years now, after she was diagnosed with a minor valve problem. And what exactly do you sell in the store?

Мария Колева

I am glad that the device is now working and helping the doctors in Siar, Christ. Last year, my wife had an echocardiography right at the cardiology center of "St. Ivan Rilski" in Sofia, and I saw how important it is to be modern. And are you from Ruse regularly going to Plovdiv or only for work?
