“We pick up medical equipment and supplies from the Texas Medical Center hospitals from doctors, nurses and occasionally from individuals, and we then work closely to make sure it’s in good shape and ship it around the world to people who literally have nothing,” Walter Ulrich said.
“Partnering with Texas Children’s, we put together 36 pallets of hygiene material. Things that mommy and babies need to take care of their children, and in addition, we have sent three clinics in a box to the region. These are 40-foot doctor’s office in a box,” Ulrich said. Texas Children’s Hospital shared a video with KPRC2 that shows physicians checking out a pregnant woman from Ukraine. The physicians are seen using technology that can check on unborn babies by being connected to a phone. The equipment was donated by Texas Children’s Hospital.
