The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Qatar and Bulgaria contributed to an international fund to treat hundreds of children who contracted HIV at a Libyan hospital and support their families, Libya said on Saturday.
"I thank Qatar for its role in the nurses' case. European countries including Bulgaria and the Czech Republic contributed to the fund for the infected children," Libyan Prime Minister al-Baghdadi Ali Al-Mahmoudi told reporters in Tripoli. "France pledged to equip Benghazi hospital and provide trained personnel for five years. It also agreed to train some 50 Libyan doctors."
The Benghazi International Fund has already given $1 million to each of the families of the infected child under a deal that enabled death sentences to be commuted on six foreign medics convicted on charges of deliberately contaminating the children.
