New Equipment in Peru

VIDA is excited to announce that Peru's Ministry of Health has entered into a partnership with VIDA to facilitate the customs clearance and in country distribution of  medical equipment and medical supplies to the communities devestated by the floods.  This partnership is reducing the international shipping costs by 40% and will eliminate all costs for shipping inside Peru. This means that your support will help more people than ever before.  This develoment along with the increase in donations from hospitals accross California will enable VIDA to ship a record number of containers to Peru in 2018.  As this report is being written, there are two containers on the water and one airlift of much needed medicines is set to happen on July 20th.  Thank you for your continued generosity!
