We had a mixed outcome at the airport today. The otoscopes were approved! Which, as Dr. Mark Royer our past ENT resident would say, they were the only important equipment coming in this week. We had planned on another suitcase full of miscellaneous medical supplies in addition to the otoscopes, but most of it has been denied. The Main guy for medical supplies approval was not there either time we went to the airport, and this younger customs agent would not approve any medicines, or needles, or any thing in large packages (like 300 exam gloves), or anything he did not really know what it was. That is okay because all that stuff we can get over here at relatively inexpensive prices. It is just a shame some of the donated medicine and supplies will not be able to be used for this year's Barefoot Drs class.
Thanks for your prayers!
