Congratulations Imbert, for accomplishing 50 medical equipment shipments to war ravaged countries! It is a wonderful program because American hospitals purchase new equipment when the old equipment is sill in perfect condition. Instead of wasting perfectly good beds or X-Ray equipment or a CAT scan machine, Imbert sends them to medical staff who desperately need them. Sometimes there is overstock of new supplies which he can send.
When our group was in Danang last month Dr. Than proudly took us to a room to show us the beautiful new scanning aparatus that he received in a shipment; he said he uses it all the time and it is really useful in his practice. The Danang Orthopedic and Rehabilitaiton Center treats 1,000 uxo victims per year, 100 new uxo victims.
It is heartbreaking to meet with highly competent doctors who tell us about losing patients or not being able to help someone because they lack the tools. Imbert's tenacity for pursuing the shipment program is very impressive. He has found generous donors for containers. In this program everyone wins.
Thanks, Imbert!
