With outbreaks of coronavirus disease in various parts of the world, Dräger believes that it is our responsibility to support hospitals and people in need of medical equipment and safety protection to cope. face this global challenge.

yes some countries dont have the time to make they own production factories to supply their own hospitals with excess supplies.. so imports are needed

but some countries refuse to buy stuff they want imported and ask for donations instead

however countries can bail out themselves.
they can create new money. and instead of handing it out to citizens causing inflation in the domestic market. they can trade it with other countries and purchase all hospital stuff for their inhouse state run hospitals.
thus keeping the money out of citizen circulation(no inflation) and kept in the upper levels of the bonds/shares/derivatives market

playing the "donation game" takes time to get donators to pay. then organise the purchase then organise the delivery
but buying direct saves the begging organisation time
