Unfortunately, negotiations with a medical instrument agency to buy a new endoscopy system with the existing amount of funds was unsuccessful. Therefore, Mrs. Sonia de Hosono, Representative of ABCD, directly approached Felix Salazar, OLA's Medical Systems Manager responsible for El Salvador at the time, to ask for a new endoscopy system within the amount of funds they had raised.

After this approach by Mrs. Hosono, OLA decided to donate a new endoscopy system instead of selling it to them at a discounted price. Thus ABCD used the funds raised to buy aids and appliances for a bronchoscope, which was donated to the hospital. Accordingly, all the necessary endoscopy systems for gastroenteric and respiratory systems have been introduced into the Benjamin Bloom hospital.

"Fortunately, offers of donations from other companies followed the donation from OLA. This lead to a 'chain reaction' of donations, as if the doors of people's hearts were opened," says Mrs. Sonia de Hosono, looking back on the past. This was because other companies became aware of the needs of the hospital. In other words, OLA's conduct played the role of a magnifying glass that has brought the actual situation and the needs of the hospital to other people's attention. The Benjamin Bloom hospital is now making the most of the donated endoscopy system for diagnosis and medical treatment purposes.
