An international organization out of Virginia has come forward and donated over one hundred thousand dollars of medical supplies and equipment to the Holberton Hospital.

The supplies, which come in the form of beds, wheel chairs, an x-ray processor, IV poles, and other medical supplies and equipment were donated by Crosslink - a Virginia-based group.

Accepting the donation from the country's Honorary Consul-General in New York MacChesney Emmanuel was Hospital Administrator Gary Thomas.

Mr. Thomas says that they are delighted that Crosslink has made such a timely donation towards Holberton Hospital and he urged other organizations to join in and assist with uplifting the institution.

Chairman of the Holberton Restoration Committee Nicholas Hadeed says that the health institution has limited resources when it comes to medical supplies and he is delighted that Crosslink has come forward with such a goodwill gesture.

Crosslink is a Virginia-based group aimed at helping third world nations meet their medical needs.
