MedShare

MedShare receives surplus biomedical equipment, such as incubators, portable ultrasound units, and anesthesia machines among hundreds of others. Our biomedical engineers and trained volunteers receive and evaluate donated equipment to verify it is in good working order. Equipment is evaluated, calibrated to fit the recipient’s needs, and manuals and transformers are provided when available. Often, a MedShare biomedical engineer visits recipient hospitals and clinics in the developing world to ensure that equipment is properly installed as well as to train staff in its use.

In light of the overwhelming demand for this life-saving equipment and training, MedShare’s Senior Biomedical Engineer, Eben Amstrong, says, “I hope to have a long life, so that I have time to get to teach all of the people who need me!”  

MedShare needs your help to raise funds to support our Biomedical Program so that we can continue to include the most urgently requested equipment on our shipments and provide training where little or none exists. Click here to make a tax-deductible contribution to provide hospitals with life-changing equipment. Also, if you know of a health care provider who has equipment to donate, a list of current priority items that we are seeking is available here.
