DUSHANBE, November 27 (RIA Novosti) - The U.S. State Department has sent Tajikistan medications worth $6.3 million for the Central Asian country's hospitals and medical institutions, a U.S. embassy spokesman said.

The batch that arrived earlier this week contains antibiotics, drugs to treat oncologic, cardiovascular and virus diseases, as well as medications to treat mental disorders, eye and skin illnesses.

This is a third batch of humanitarian aid through project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere) this year. Since 2001, medical aid worth over $203 million has been delivered to Tajik hospitals through the project.
