AHN recognizes the crucial importance of dependable and consistent logistical support to international relief programming. To this end, AHN provides logistical support to health-related non-profit organizations working in Africa. This support includes, but is not limited to, facilitating connection between African hospitals and NGO’s/non-profits that want to make medical donation within countries in which AHN operates as well as providing importation and customs documentation for donated medical supplies, medicines and equipment. Another example is providing in-country lodging, transportation, and meals to medical mission teams, as well as ensuring that medical equipment arrives prior to the team’s arrival. By ensuring that in-country logistics and support are handled in a professional manner, AHN facilitates full project implementation and supports local NGOs to accomplish their project goals.

DIXCOVE HOSPITAL PROJECT
Executive Director, Peter Nardini and his wife Katrina, first came to Ghana in the summer of 2006 when they volunteered for three months at Dixcove Hospital, located in the village next to Busua. During his stay in Dixcove, Peter worked with the hospital administration to facilitate a relationship between Dixcove Hospital and Direct Relief International (DRI), an American organization that sends medical supplies, medical equipment, and medicines to hospitals throughout the world who serve low income communities. As a result of their coordinated efforts, an ocean container medical supplies worth over US $300,000 arrived at Dixcove Hospital in the spring of 2008.
