According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, infectious diseases are a major challenge for human health and the leading cause of death around the world. As these outbreaks continue to increase in size and numbers of people affected globally, MedShare is prepared to respond when intervention is most needed.
Community engagement is the key to successfully controlling communicable disease outbreaks.
The Challenge:
Given the nature, infectious diseases are usually preventable with the use of personal protective equipment, general public health measures or immunologic approaches like vaccination. History has shown that certain infectious diseases, particularly those with global health implications, can be eliminated or contained so treatment is effective.
The Opportunity:
Our Strategy:
MedShare’s response to global pandemics is swift and efficient in providing life saving medical supplies and equipment to healthcare workers on the front lines. We work closely with hospital and healthcare partners in developing nations to help them order exactly what they need and then to deliver those items promptly.
As news of communicable diseases occur, MedShare is ready to respond with the timely delivery of medical supplies, personal protective clothing and equipment and biomedical equipment.
By providing essential medical supplies to caregivers of patients with infectious diseases, the transmission rates drastically decrease, and these caregivers can treat more patients successfully.
