MEdical Supplies

Each year, our aim is to ship a container filled with medical supplies and hospital equipment to PNG. All medical supplies have been donated by hospitals, health clinics and individuals.

We only ship goods that we know are necessary, require minimal maintenance and are inexpensive to run. We are guided by wish lists provided by PNG health staff. Please check our wish list or contact us if you would like to donate.

What we need:

  • linen (sheets, Kylie’s, blankets, pillows and cases)

  • towels and hand towels

  • wheelchairs

  • walkers

  • crutches

  • hand soap, antibacterial hand wash

  • gloves, theatre caps, theatre booties

  • IV stands

  • stainless medicine trolleys
