We have regular requests from expatriate medical personnel who have worked in Tansen in the past, are coming to Tansen, or have some link with the hospital, asking if there are any particular types of equipment or supplies that are urgently needed. So, here is a list of items we are short of, or have never had but would really benefit from!  If you are able to help provide any of these please do get in touch and we will see if there is someone traveling to Tansen from your home country in the near future.

All the items listed below are small and portable so can be brought here relatively easily from overseas. More specific details of each item can be supplied on request.

Many thanks for considering donating equipment. These items really are vital to the operation and development of the hospital, allowing us to further enhance the level of our facilities.

Kind regards,

Dr Rachel Karrach
