Chiros to supply Russian hospital

Chiros Inc., Piestany, the most successful of the medical equipment producer Chirana Prema's 16 branches, won a tender called by the World Bank in December 1996 to supply a hospital in Russia worth $3 million (100 million Sk), company officials announced. Chiros started to supply the hospital in January and will complete the contract this May. In the last few years, Chiros has supplied 14 hospitals in Russia, which helped it to win the highly competitive international bid, its representatives said.
