Grant Description
On October 14, 2014, Chinese Ambassador Xin Shunkang handed over three ambulances and medical equipment donated by Zhejiang Province to Namibian Health Minister Richard Kamwi.
The fully-equipped ambulances were funded by Zhejiang Province after a delegation led by Vice Governor Huang Xuming visited Namibia in October 2013.
The Ministry of Health and Social Services and the government of the Zhejiang Province of the People's Republic of China signed documents in April 2014, when it was agreed that the latter would donate ambulances to the ministry. Each ambulance costs $636,724.82 Namibian dollars while the medical equipment is worth $200,000 Namibian dollars.
The ambulances were purchased locally in Namibia and were face-lifted to be modern ambulances equipped with life-saving devices.
Medical exchange between Namibia and Zhejiang started in 1996 when the province began to send doctors to work in Namibian hospitals. This project is completed.
