Story
Hurricane Maria has left medical facilities on Dominica "worse than in a war zone,".
The Caribbean island's main hospital has been without power since the Category 5 storm hit late Monday, killing at least 15 and injuring many others.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said the facility's intensive care unit had been destroyed and dialysis machines were down. The backup generator at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Roseau, which is located on the southwest coast of Dominica, was also flooded during the storm.
Origin Invest Ltd, a global infrastructure investment company based in London offer $5000 USD, assistance in the provision of Caterpillar Generators and technicians.
The diesel generators equipment available for immediate shipment from Antwerp, Belgium.... immediately!!.

DE18E3 – 16kVA, 12.8kW, 50Hz 400V each: £6,950.00 each FCA Antwerp, Belgium

DE65E0 – 60kVA, 48kW, 50Hz 400V each: £9,400.00 each FCA Antwerp, Belgium
We are seeking Dfid, Government, Corporate and a public response to support the relief effort, and assist us in the supply of power systems, communication equipment and technical experts in the deployment.
The quantity of supply is 22 items that is available with a value of $350,000 USD as per list below.
The procurement is applied with a contribution from the public / community $50,000 USD, match funding of $50,000 USD from corporate partners including a start pledge of $5000 from Origin Invest, and a very discounted procurement cost from Caterpillar who will handle the logistics and technical support for the first phase of generators. We are in contact with British High Commission for Dominica and will work with them to identify the immediate and future deployment, for which we have applied for Dfid (Department for International Development) grant assistance
This is an emergency response and the items will be installed in situ (in Dominica) for now and the foreseeable future.
We are coordinating through the British High Commission in London to be in contact with the Disaster coordinator to supply the necessary technical project management for the installation in the key facilities to either upgrade or replace generators damaged by the hurricane. The hospital is not the only location of interest.
