Need
Every day, people needlessly suffer or die in hospitals and clinics struggling with equipment shortages and mechanical failures.
According to the World Health Organization 50% of medical equipment in developing nations doesn't work. Equipment donated by various sources often arrives in countries of need never to be used. Missing manuals and incompatible power connections are problematic. Equipment that is functional won't remain so for long without appropriate maintenance or someone with the technical knowledge to repair it. Other hospitals simply cannot afford to purchase medical equipment.
International Aid helps hospitals in developing nations attain self-sufficiency in equipment operations, and improve quality of medical care for patients by acquiring and maintaining lifesaving equipment.
Solution
Medical Equipment Services (MES) functions as a critical link between equipment donors and recipients, we furnish hospitals and clinics with appropriate medical equipment, operational manuals, and technical and field support.
International Aid is one of the largest re-furbishers of medical equipment in the non-profit world providing anything from anesthesia machines to patient monitors to x-ray equipment to those in need worldwide.
