Tongan church donates medical aid to Tonga's Ministry of Health

Gabriella Good Health and Well-being

"This is not the first time the church has donated equipment to us. This is the fourth container of goods they have donated," says The Ministry of Health's Acting Medical Superintendent Dr. 'Ana 'Akau'ola.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has donated a large number of new wheelchairs and walking aids to Tonga's Ministry of Health at Tongatapu Island. This equipment comes in different sizes which means it will be used by people of all ages, including "small babies". The aid will be distributed by the Rehabilitation Department of Vaiola Hospital. This is very good news, as many states have endured shortages of medical equipment and PPE (personal protective equipment) most used by medical workers in the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic. This generous donation is a step towards achieving SDG 3 target 3.8, access to quality essential health-care services.
