Refurbishment and donation of equipment to the Mbalmayo and Guider hospitals

Project narrative

In 2003, China agreed to refurbish the Chinese constructed Mbalmayo and Guider hospitals. In subsequent years, the Guider hospital received a generator to produce electricity in the event of a power cut by the national electricity company and other equipments valued at 91 million FCFA (140,000 euros). This included a multi-purpose x-ray machine, two electrocardiographs, one sonar imaging machine, four cardioscopes, one multi-functional anaesthetic machine, one ophthalmoscope, one electric bed, one dental chair, two computers, one pressurised disinfector, one surgical microscope, two infrared lamps, two life-support machines, and one digital photocopier. The Guider hospital received the generator in 2004.
