| MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTION
Travel
Mercy Airlift travels to all parts of the
world. We provide developing countries with humanitarian aid,
disaster relief services, medical services and sustainable human
development programs. Many areas of developing countries have
isolated areas with sizeable populations who have no medical
services available to them. Many of these areas suffer from the
lack of basic medical service which leads to a high mortality
rate for children and weaker adults.
Remote Area
When other relief and medical organization
arrive in these remote areas, they soon discover that there is a
limited amount of medical equipment and supplies needed to meet
the needs of the populations. They realize that these areas are
desperately in need of medical needs.
Clinic Equipment
In countries where we travel, we see the
conditions that many less fortunate people live under. We see
the desperate conditions of some of the medical clinics that
have been established. Over time they have been stripped of
most all equipment that is needed to provide just the basic
healthcare needed by the inhabitants. The lack of proper
equipment and serviceable equipment has always been a major
obstacle in providing adequate healthcare.
Surplus Equipment
In the United States as well as Western
Europe, there is a tremendous surplus of medical and surgical
equipment which is no longer needed although the equipment is in
excellent condition. This is the type of equipment which is
desperately needed in these developing countries and Mercy
Airlift is here to bring these supplies to these developing
countries.
Delivery Equipment
The solution to the dilemma is to provide
these countries with the excess equipment and Mercy Airlift has
developed an ongoing program called the Medical Equipment
Distribution Program. This program is to deliver this equipment
to these under developed countries and to ensure that at these
small outlying medical clinics, that the local healthcare
providers can deliver basic healthcare to populations in remote
areas.
World Donated Equipment
In Central and South America as well as
hospitals in Africa and Asia, there are many hospitals who
depend and need the equipment Mercy Airlift has ready to deliver
to them. The delivery of this equipment is made possible by the
generous donations of our individual donors and our corporate
donors.
Transport Equipment
Mercy Airlift picks up medical equipment
from different hospitals and clinics throughout the United
States utilizing trucking companies as well as our own fleet of
trucks and trailers. The equipment is transported to our
facilities and is completely reconditioned and inspected, then
inventoried in our warehouses prior to the shipment being made
to on of the clinics and/or hospitals we support in developing
nations. |
