About Us
Helping Where We Can
We are a student-led organisation that collects surplus medical supplies and textbooks from hospitals, checks their viability and distributes them to developing countries where resources are severely limited.
We aim to deliver surplus medical supplies and textbooks to local hospitals of developing countries through medical students going for their electives. At the same time, this would reduce wastage of medical resources in the UK.
Donations
If you have any unused medical supplies or textbooks that you wish to donate, feel free to contact us at our Facebook page. At the moment, we are collecting the following items:
British National Formulary (BNFs for Adults and Children)
Medical and Nursing Textbooks
Medical Equipment (eg Blood Pressure Machines, Stethoscopes, Non-Mercury Thermometers, Glucometers, Unopened Dressings)
Our Projects
Elective Medical Students
Our very first project involves giving out old copies of BNFs to students on electives at developing world hospitals/clinics, which are likely to benefit from the BNF. Our local contact at Zambia has assured us that BNF is one of the most valued resources for the staff and patients alike.
Collection of Surplus Medical Supplies
We are in the midst of organising various methods of collection.
