When disaster strikes, MedShare responds, and you can help us do so by donating to our Urgent Humanitarian Relief Program. From well-known disaster situations like the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile and tornados in Alabama and Missouri to lesser publicized but urgent humanitarian needs like cholera outbreaks in Zimbabwe, floods in Pakistan, and drought and famine in East Africa, MedShare is often called upon for help.

With your help, MedShare can respond to these needs by supplying tractor-trailer-size containers of medical supplies and equipment customized to meet the needs of the recipient, equipping volunteer medical teams who are traveling to affected areas, providing biomedical equipment repair and support, and collaborating with other organizations to provide coordinated solutions.

• $25,000 can prepare and ship a tractor-trailer sized container, over 1,000 boxes, of medical supplies and equipment to Africa.

• $10,000 can provide a half container, or 500 boxes, of medical supplies and equipment to a recipient in Latin America or Southeast Asia.

• $5,000 pays for a trip for MedShare’s biomedical engineer to travel to recipient facilities to repair equipment damaged in a disaster, train staff, and install new equipment.

• $2,500 enables MedShare staff to travel to affected areas, assess needs and evaluate recipients

• $1,000 sends a pallet of 50 boxes of medical supplies.

• $250 can equip a team of doctors and nurses responding to an urgent need.
