Arrow Web Hospital is looking for volunteers who may help them to source an organization/hospitals that can donate the used medical equipment to hospitals in developing counties.

Arrow Web Hospital is getting a high number of newborn babies with difficult breathing. We need a baby suction machine to help our nurses deal with this.

Any one who has ideas on this please post here.

I know one here in the USA but someone else must pay for the container shipping. They will donate the equipment and prepare the container for shipping.

Hi Ken
Thank you very much for this i ideas yes most of them want the project to pay for the shipping there is where the problem is we have another one from the UK but we did not manage to raise funds for shipping the container since it was too expensive to us.but for now we a gently need a suction machine to keep our newborn baby live with this any doctor or nurse who works in a hospital can donate it since this ca be easily shipped.

Hi Bram

I have no idea how big/heavy one of these is, have you checked out likely shipping costs? Also the cost of buying in Kenya? Then you can work out whether its better to look for an equipment donor, and money for shipping, or whether its just as easy to raise money to buy it locally.
