A 20-foot sea container with hospital beds, medical and surgical supplies and equipment was sent from the Netherlands in January 2004. The shipment was received and its contents distributed.

From 2004 to 2006 four sea containers of hospital beds, medical supplies, educational materials, computers and medical technology were sent.

In addition, in early June 2005, a number of large air shipments of antibiotics (streptomycin and rifampicin) were sent to treat Buruli ulcer.

A second 20-foot sea container with medical equipment and supplies was sent in June 2004 from Germany, and most recently a 20-foot container including many thousands of school books was sent from Great Britain.
