Where to donate medical equipment.
Charities that help with medical supplies are sought out by those who need assistance or those who want to donate. Thankfully, medical charities help bring needed equipment to hospitals that would otherwise not have access.
Here is a list of nonprofit organizations that take medical supply donations or offer resources that can help.
American Medical Resources Foundation
HERO (Healthcare Equipment Recycling Organization)
REMEDY (Recovered Medical Equipment for the Developing World)
Tropical Health & Education Trust (THET)
Medical equipment donations come from various scenarios. Donors could be individuals, manufacturers, medical suppliers, organizations, or hospitals. However, most nonprofits have “good donation practice” guidelines aimed at both medical equipment donations and the procedure of making such donations.
One core guideline at Kindred Box and other reputable medical charities is that there should be no double standard in quality. If the condition of the supplies is unacceptable for donor use, then they are unacceptable as a donation.
Donating your excess medical supplies truly helps. These organizations collect and distribute items where they are needed most. Your contributions are the gift of hope for someone in need.
