PANAMA CITY -- Taiwan's embassy in El Salvador has donated wheelchairs to an El Salvadoran social planning committee in an effort to help needy disabled individuals, according to Carlos S.C. Liao, Taiwan's ambassador to the Central American country.

Thirty wheelchairs were donated at a ceremony Wednesday presided over by Liao and Elizabeth de Calderon Sol, chairwoman of El Salvador's Social Planning Committee, with two representatives of Salvadoran disabled people on hand to receive the donation.

Prior to Wednesday's donation, the Taiwan government last month donated 55 wheelchairs to the Salvadoran Ministry of Health for patients at local public hospitals, according to Liao.
