Donating Medical Supplies

For more than 20 years, Partners In Health has begged, borrowed and bargained to keep our clinical facilities equipped and our pharmacies stocked around the world. Medical donations not only provide our hospitals with essential supplies, they also allow us to redirect our financial resources towards other important priorities, such as ensuring that our patients have enough food to eat and clean water to drink, or sending malaria patients home with bednets to protect against reinfection.

Please note that Partners In Health is unable to accept opened, expired or short-dated pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, used prosthetics, clothing, shoes or children’s toys. All donated medical equipment must be in excellent condition, fully operational and electrically compatible.

To donate supplies or inquire about the suitability of a potential donation, please email medicaldonations@pih.org or contact Jesse Greenspan at (617) 432-2881. We will contact you shortly to discuss your donation in further detail and to make logistical arrangements. If necessary, PIH can arrange for pick-up and transportation of donated materials.

Thank you for your generous support.
