The numbers of supplies donated by China Harbor Engineering 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 CHEC besides that captured in this project, it has been assumed that all 127 suits were part of this shipment.AidData has estimated the transaction amount for this donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO).
