Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On November 10, 2011, China announced that it would donated a CT scanner to Tonga. This donation was received on May 8, 2012, as part of a disaster relief aid package (see #39217). By 2014 this donation was in use at Vaiola Hospital in Nuku'alofa. This machine was the first of its kind in Tonga and would allow Tongans to avoid traveling to receive a CT scan.
