Installation of a new CatheterX-ray Laboratory Machine,
Shastin Hospital, Ulaabaatar, Mongolia. 11/2008-09
Rotary Club Castle Hill (Eastern Region) and Southern Region
Commencing in April 2009, teams of volunteer medical engineers, builders, carpenters, electricians and vinyl floor layers installed the donated machine and trained staff in its use.
The National Cancer Hospital does not have a working CT machine. A Picker PQ 2000 CT scanner and spare parts to keep the it operational, was donated in Melbourne to be installed in Ulaanbaatar. This machine will become the only working machine in the country

The relocation and freight expenses were covered by Donations in Kind Eastern Region (Sydney) organised by Ron Marcus ( Rotary Club of Castle Hill), and Peter Koens, medical engineer from Philips Australia..
Another wonderful supporter is Willoughby Floor Services who not only provided the vinyl flooring material for the Cath Labs but send a team of two installers to the site.
St Vincent's and Mercy Private Hospitals in Melbourne, donated their existing Philips Integris H3000 Cardiac Catheterisation facility (Cath Lab) to Rotary for reinstallation in the National Cancer Hospital in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This machine will be only the second serving the country of 3,000,000 people. The first machine was installed by Rotary two years ago. |

A team of 16 volunteers helped install the machines in Mongolia. This installation followed similar donations of equipment installed in Kathmandu and Sri Lanka. Further donations of equipment may occur in the next few years.
