The Negros Occidental provincial government recently received P10 million worth of hospital equipment from the Rotary Club of Canterbury in Australia, the “sister club” of the Rotary Club of Bacolod North.

Included among the donated items were hospital beds and mattresses, emergency trolleys, surgical microscopes, examination tables, bedside tables, IV poles, wheeled walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, filing cabinets, hospital linens, assorted medical supplies, among other items.
The equipment will be distributed to provincial hospitals across the province.
