Радио Здраве - Radio Zdrave Project

Healthy music and health information in intelligible, enjoyable and entertaining way.
There are countless sources of health information and more for music. However, we believe that Bulgarians, in and outside Bulgaria, will benefit from our approach, because:
We talk in Bulgarian and we think in Bulgarian. All those questions, fears, tears, happiness, weakness, sadness, power and music we play are part of our life. And every day we are finding answers with the help of numerous eminent consultants, health care providers, educational, government and  independent organizations.
Radio Zdrave is producing two internet radio channels:
Channel BG is our Bulgarian channel and has additional focus on healthcare in Bulgaria
Channel US was live from 2009 to 2011. Thank you all that made it possible.
