Ventilator for an indian hospital

During a reception in Germany we had the opportunity to meet Doctor Engelking a surgeon.
He visited and worked freelance in India for nearly a year and  is supporting a local hospital in the district of Giridhi,which lies in the state of Jharkhand, which had recently resulted from the division of the poorest state in India, Bihar.
The hospital is part of the mission of the Holy Cross Sisters. In the 70 km surrounding the hospital there are hardly no further physicians and no hospital. And most patients have only a bicycle and perhaps the possibility to use a tractor to get here.
The sisters organize the primary health care in the villages, train midwives in the most important aspects of home birth and do social work. For example they draw the attention of the usually analphabetic rural population to the right of the poorest ones to receive a national pension and help them in applying for it.
Help for the Planet will assist Doctor Engelking to collect money to buy a lung ventilator for this hospital.

The experienced Gynaecologist at this hospital needs a lung ventilator.
Costs around  2.000.000 Indian Rupies (3600 Eur)
