On February 6, 2017, a handover ceremony was held for the donation of medical equipment from Huizhou Central People’s Hospital in Guangdong. Huizhou Central People’s Hospital in Guangdong donated US$ 987,119 worth of equipment to the Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital. The ceremony was held at Samoa Pharmaceutical Warehouse, and the donation was received by the Minister of Health, Afioga Tuitama Dr Leao Talalelei Tuitama. Equipment included a portable X-ray machine, one color full digital ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, one batch of E.N.T. (Ear, Nose & Throat) diagnosis and treatment equipment, and three boxes of lead protective clothing. The exchange is part of a November 2015 MOU between the two hospitals: "Medical Service Cooperation between Huizhou Central People’s Hospital and Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital."
