Grant Description

On May 13, 2019, China donated towards the second phase of the Panama "Love on Wheels" project that provides mobile health clinics to citizens in need. This donation went to the Office of the First Lady of Panama.

The donation went towards three HACMAN F3000 vehicles that are meant to go deep into the remote mountainous areas of Panama to provide high-quality medical services to women of childbearing age.

Each vehicle had mammography, ultrasound, gynecology bed, colposcope, fetal monitor, patient monitor, electrocardiograph and portable ultrasound scanner, as well as an area to perform rapid HIV tests. The handover ceremony was held in Panama City. This is the second phase of the Love on Wheels Love Mobile Clinic Project.

The first phase involved the donation of medical equipment which is detailed in Record ID# 89606.

The value of the donation for both phases was 6.6 million balboas (captured in Record ID#89911), though it is uncertain how much went into each phase.

📋 Staff Comments

The Spanish project title is Unidades Móviles para el Proyecto Amor sobre Ruedas que desarrolla el Despacho de la Primera Dama.
Due to it being unclear what portion of the funding went to each phase, the total amount is captured in the Umbrella Project ID#89911.
