Grant Description

On or about May 28, 2020, a batch of 15 tons of medical supplies - containing approximately 517,697 pieces - was shipped from the Port of Tianjin to Ecuador.

Of the total supplies, 3,000 disposable surgical masks were donated by Zhenhua Oil to help Ecuador combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Surgical masks from the overall shipment went to both Ecuador's Ministry of Health and the National Assembly of Ecuador, but it is unknown which agency received (or if both agencies received) the surgical masks donated by Zhenhua Oil. This donation was previously handed over to the Ecuadorian Embassy in China on an unknown date.

Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Economy and Finance helped coordinate the donation, while the Sumar Juntos Trust of Banco Pichincha and the Ecuador-China Chamber of Commerce helped facilitate transport and logistics. The date of arrival in Ecuador is also unknown.

The numbers of supplies donated by Zhenhua Oil are sourced from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Movement's 'Cooperación Internacional No Reembolsable Recibida en el marco de la Emergencia Sanitaria por COVID-19 (Desde el 16 de marzo de 2020 hasta la fecha actual)' database. While this database does not break down the dates a donation took place and captures all of the supplies donated by a particular entity, given that there are no reports of other donations to Ecuador from Zhenhua Oil besides that captured in this project, it has been assumed that all 3,000 surgical masks were part of this shipment.AidData has estimated the transaction amount for this donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO). Please see the TUFF Methodology for additional details.
