20 million RMB ($3,169,658) for biomechanical equipment for the implementation of the services provided by the MIMP (wheelchairs) (linked to #62359)

On November 12, 2014, the Chinese Minister of Commerce and the Peruvian Minister of International Relations signed Letters of Exchange pledging to grant biomechanical equipment worth 20 million RMB (equivalent to $3,169,658 USD) to the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations (MIMP) (page 146 in Situación y Tendencias de la Cooperación Internacional 2011-2014). The grant included 28,995 wheelchairs (sillas de ruedas) and other biomedical goods and was drawn from the Economic and Technical Trade Agreement (ETCA) signed between the two countries on April 6, 2013 (see project #62359). The wheelchairs were provided in two batches: the first shipment of 580 wheelchairs (arrived at unknown date) and a second shipment of 28,415 wheelchairs which arrived on July 7, 2015. The first shipment of 580 wheelchairs was approved via Ministerial Resolution on May 29, 2015 and had a approximate CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value of $64,679.849. The wheelchairs were Yuwell brand, model H035, 18-inch wheels with a metal frame and came with the accessories necessary for use. This project is linked to #62359 which is the 40 million RMB Economic and Technical Cooperation Agreement signed between the two countries in 2013.
