Equipment and Personnel Needs List

The annual budget for consumables and recurring expenses for Hospital Vozandes del Oriente is approximately $600,000. This does not include funds necessary to purchase and replace major equipment items necessary for the functioning of the hospital. For these we depend on the contributions of donors moved by God to provide for our equipment needs. Those who are interested can participate in any number of ways. Cash gifts are always welcome, but many times the exact piece of equipment needed can be located and donated directly. Or perhaps a supporter can locate a needed item at a greatly reduced cost than is available to the general public. If you have any suggestions or ideas or want to help us with any of the following equipment needs, please contact Arthur Blackburn at: or by writing to:
