The shipment includes hospital beds and mattresses, wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, crutches, canes, patient lifts, CPAP machines, an oxygen concentrator, nebulizers,
Other includes intravenous (IV) poles, commodes, shower chairs, blood pressure equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), and numerous additional medical supplies required to support patient care and clinical operations.
