“My name is Adriana Kamburova.
I am a senior lieutenant, a medic at the Military Medical Academy.
I work in the Rheumatology Department, I am 29 years old and I’ve been in the Bulgarian Army for three years.
Things have changed a lot during this pandemic. How we perceive the world has also changed a lot.
People have distanced a little. But our goal during this pandemic is to support our patients.
NATO assists civilian and military personnel during the pandemic.
In fact, the Alliance helps in many different ways, logistically with medical experts, with the construction of field hospitals, delivery of medical supplies, additional PCR tests, if necessary.
Good outcomes can be achieved only with joint efforts.”
