An appeal for medical supplies and equipment by a nurse at the\u00a0Nyive Health Center of the Volta Region, received an immediate response from Volunteers for International Medical Aid, VIMA, a California-based International humanitarian organization.<\/p>\n
Vincentia Rita Sedofia, a Nurse at Nyive, a border community in the Ho Municipality, appealed to the Non-Governmental Organization through correspondence to support their facility which lacked basic medical equipment and supplies.<\/p>\n
