The aid includes diagnostic equipment, including x-ray machines, medical stethoscopes, and blood pressure measuring devices, in addition to operating tables and surgical and therapeutic equipment.

The initial plan stipulates that the equipment will be shipped from the South Korean city of Incheon to the port of Nampo in North Korea, via the Chinese city of Dandong, via the Hyundai Asan company.
