The Military Medical Academy has sent yet another team on a mission to Mali. In the next 4 months the Bulgarian medics will take care of the staff at the headquarters of the peacekeeping operation, which is based in the capital Bamako.

"You raise the Bulgarian flag and this brings obligations and honor as you represent the country with dignity," Colonel Dimo ​​Dimov, deputy head of the academy, said. He wished the medics to return alive and well, with a sense of fulfilled duty and satisfaction.

Bulgarian military doctors have been involved in various humanitarian and peacekeeping missions abroad for more than a century and have always received excellent reviews for their work.
