Challenge

Disposing of good-quality medical supplies by sending them to landfills or incineration significantly harms our planet. You can help mitigate this damage by ensuring that these supplies are repurposed when our local healthcare providers no longer require them. We urgently need your assistance to fund the transportation costs of delivering surplus medical supplies to health units across sub-Saharan Africa to give them a "second life" and to save the lives of vulnerable patients.

Solution

Inter Care aims to collect surplus health care goods and medicines (donated and purchased), for the two-fold purpose of medical waste reduction and to send regular consignments of vital medical aid to rural health units across sub-Saharan Africa. Often, we receive parcels of surplus supplies at our facility, and our dedicated volunteers screen, sort and pack them for distribution to our partner health units. By supporting this project, you help save items from landfill and incineration.

Long-Term Impact

Now, more than ever, we must strive to protect our planet. By joining Inter Care's mission, you can help us decrease medical waste across the UK, prevent it from ending up in landfills, and ensure that these supplies reach the health units in sub-Saharan Africa that desperately need them. Imagine a foetal doppler has been thrown into landfill. Luckily, Inter Care can accept items like this. This item has the potential to greatly reduce newborn mortality rates in Africa.
