He said Tropic Frond’s Dennis Hill had paid for freight and Customs and Management Services cleared the equipment and delivered the cargo for free.
Wong said the equipment had been procured by Shawn Hughes, a biomedical engineer at Royal Brisbane Hospital in Australia.
According to Wong, Hughes’s wife Jin grew up in Rabaul and Kokopo.
