X-ray machines, ultrasound scanners, anaesthesia units, infusion pumps, and pulse oximeters – these are just some of the medical devices purchased over the past three days during the 79th Open Tender. A total of 24,526,013.37 PLN was spent on equipment for hospices and children's oncology and haematology wards.
This was the first Open Tender dedicated to achieving the medical goal of the 33rd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) – support for children’s oncology and haematology. The three-day negotiations resulted in the purchase of 1,542 medical devices.
All this equipment will be delivered to facilities across Poland in the coming days.
Let us recall that the 33rd Grand Finale of WOŚP ended with a fantastic result – thanks to volunteers, local committees, and generous donors, we raised 289,068,047.77 PLN! These funds will allow the purchase of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to help doctors in the fight against cancer and other serious haematological diseases in children.
The Open Tender is a process for selecting the highest-quality medical equipment – devices that will not only perform reliably in hospital settings but also provide the most accurate diagnostic data, thereby supporting the health and treatment of patients. We are supported in this process – which often involves hours-long negotiations – by a team of medical experts and practitioners from relevant fields.
Experts involved in the 79th Open Tender included:
Each device is assessed by the committee in a three-stage process:
Initial presentation of the offer
Detailed review of the equipment’s specifications
Negotiations with each bidder on the proposed unit prices
This process ensures that WOŚP purchases only the most effective and suitable medical devices for Poland’s children and palliative care patients.
