Situation

Sri Lanka imports most of its medicines and medical equipment. When the country fell into a severe economic crisis in 2022, many public hospitals ran short of medicines and supplies as a result. New equipment, such as hospital beds, is a large expense for a hospital like that.

Plan

We are buying new hospital beds, with mattresses, for a hospital in Sri Lanka. We will post here which hospital and how many beds as soon as that is settled.

After that, this page will show where the beds have gone, with photos and the receipts.

Costs

Our goal for this project is €4,000.

Final goal

A good, safe bed for the hospital’s patients.
