In March 2022, the Tanzanian Deputy Minister of Health, whom our project manager had met on site in connection with the construction of an eye clinic, asked our NGO whether we would be able to procure and ship medical equipment for a clinic in Arusha against payment.
Since we do not deal with equipment, we could not comply with the request in this form. But free of charge we could. Again, Michael Bülhoff was able to activate his network and within only one week he had the good news that he was able to procure the medical equipment requested by the minister in mint condition from a donor. The timing was of course ideal, as we were able to pack this equipment into the container with the equipment for the eye clinic.
