17th Shipping Container Reaches its Final Destination

The joy was widespread today when the newest container pulled into the courtyard of the hospital around midday. It was like having Christmas in August with “presents” for every department.

In the on-site housing we now have 10 new beds and desks. There was a new machine for the workshop as well as a fuel tank. Insulating material arrived that will be used to reduce the heat loss from the hot water pipes. For the hospital ward there is a call buzzing system and for the Surgical department Carolin Muller will put the new packaging machine into use.

The Laboratory now boasts a second machine for measuring blood gases. There were 2 desks and a 750kg safe for the administration staff. Once again there was a large donation from Drager Medical of equipment valued at $100,000.

In the hospital´s dining room there are now 60 new chairs. And we don´t want to forget to mention the new slicing machine for the kitchen.
