One Donation Complete


The Angkor Hospital for Children was extremely grateful for the donation of suture provided by Global Links. They shared with me some of the logistical challenges they face like simply finding enough room for their inventory and how it can be especially difficult to source items with an expiration date.


For example, they have a hard time getting something as simple as lubricating jelly. Not the specialized stuff used to do ultrasonic procedures, just plain old lubricating jelly. The tiny packets expire after a year or so, and you need to buy them in huge bulk orders. They simply won't use that much of it, so most will go bad and they will end up wasting most of their investment in it.


Take a look at the wonderful letter they provided, and consider donating to a group like Gobal Links.
