MedShare — surplus medical supplies from health professionals
Backed by: MedShare (501(c)(3), Decatur, Georgia)
U.S. nonprofit that recovers surplus medical supplies from hospitals, clinics, and distributors and redistributes them to communities and emergencies. A channel for health professionals, not household donations.
WarningVerify before shipping: MedShare has no program dedicated to this quake. Its only route into the country (container shipment) requires a receiving institution in Venezuela to fund the cost and obtain customs clearance from the Ministry of Finance, i.e. it depends on a state channel. It does NOT accept medicines or pharmaceuticals, only supplies and equipment; minimum 18 months to expiry.
What it does
If you run a practice, clinic, or distribution business, you offer unused surplus supplies. MedShare consolidates and ships by request, not improvised collection.
