organization, recently sent out its first major shipment
of the year thanks to the generosity of GLMS Alliance
members.
The GLMS Alliance, in collaboration with Healing
the Children, donated over $150,000 worth of medical supplies
and equipment to the Whispers Magical Children’s Hospital in
Uganda. The supplies, which left Louisville on February 5 th , included
an anesthesia machine, a baby incubator, a defibrillator, hospital
beds and more.
Prior to shipment, several members of the GLMS Alliance visited
Supplies Over Seas to help load the equipment on to a 40-foot ocean
going container. The hospital in Uganda was desperately in need of
these supplies to treat malaria and sickle cell disease.
