Poles have again defied their bread-and-butter concerns to donate more than ever to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity’s latest effort, helping to raise a staggering PLN 243,259,387.25 (almost EUR 52 million).
The raised total will help revolutionise the way sepsis is handled at Polish hospitals through the purchase of state-of-the -art diagnostic systems for labs, according to the organisers.
