VIDA thanks GlobalGiving donors for your support! VIDA has just sent two containers carrying nearly $1million in aid in response to the 2017 tragic floods and ongoing healthcare needs in Peru. As reported in previous reports, 300 plus hospitals/clinics were destroyed and the infrastructure remain damaged - roads and bridges washed out and entire communities swept clean and millions still lack access to healthcare.
VIDA is working with our partners and the government to help rebuild the healthcare infrastructure. The government is donating warehouse space and dedicating transportation resources to transport the aid to the impacted communities and we are ramping up our efforts. Hospital beds, exam tables and ambulatory supplies is critical to get these hospitals back up and running.
To that end, VIDA’s last two containers have focused on these items, carrying 62 beds, 24 gurneys and 26 exam tables and topped off with walkers, wheelchairs, and crutches as well as a sundry of medical supplies.
We are in the process of securing funding for the next containers and appreciate the support of the Global Giving community!
