Our 67th sea container is on its way to Zimbabwe for the United Bulawayo Hospitals.

Huge thanks to Graeme Wilson, our volunteer logistics expert for arranging and packing the container with ADFA staff, Helen and Dawn.

Over 100 items of donated medical equipment and supplies were loaded, including a c-arm (x-ray machine), operating table, hospital beds with mattresses, examination tables, lead garments, PPE, crutches, wheelchairs for disabled children, and theatre supplies.

We express our gratitude to the team at AWH for storage support and very efficient forklift assistance from Michelle.

Thanks to the many donors, including Armadale, Fremantle, Hollywood, St John of God Subiaco & Mt Lawley Hospitals and RFDS, for recycling not required equipment to ADFA, and to Wheelchairs for Kids for 8 specially designed wheelchairs for disabled children.  Special thanks to the DAK Foundation for donating new equipment, including patient monitors, suction machines and portable ultrasound.
