We are delighted to be supporting @Ethar_Relief in their work in Sudan, with their deployment to the region starting this October. It was a privilege for our CEO, Tim Beacon, to meet Ethar Relief’s COO, Saeed Abdelrahman, to deliver the equipment.
For this project we supplied equipment needed for their latest vascular surgery mission to Sudan, including a variety of gifts in kind, with a large selection of high quality surgical instruments, as well as a biomedical engineering course (building capacity for the long-term).
This is what global learning looks like. A package delivered to a student, inside is the start of a biomedical engineering journey.
It’s a combination of online education and relevant high quality resources designed to give our students the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and resources to make a real difference in the healthcare environments they serve, directly impacting patient care.
We are so pleased that they will be used to help treat women in the area, dramatically transforming their lives. All of us at Medical Aid International are really proud of the work we have done over so many years.
We are delighted to have the privilege of working with a wide variety of organisations who are supporting and addressing the vital need for fistula care in low resource environments.
We are pleased to be able to support so many hospitals around the world with much needed medical equipment. This latest shipment is to a hospital in Madagascar which we have been working with for a number of years, and have previously supplied with numerous shipments.
This load contains equipment for the wards, operating room, and ophthalmic unit, with patient monitors, pulse oximeters, oxygen concentrators, as well as suction machines, and a surgical diathermy machine/ESU.
Tim Beacon, CEO of Medical Aid International, was delighted to be able to attend the Uganda-UK Business and Community Partnerships for Humanity Dialogue Meeting early last week.
He was so pleased to be able to meet with such an interesting and wide-ranging group of people, as well as to have the opportunity to share more about our work as an organisation. It was also great to listen to and learn from others at the meeting.
We are delighted to welcome the latest enrollees of our online biomedical engineering programme!
Both have been equipped with resources to have an impact at their hospital, including a professional toolkit, textbooks, workplace attire, and a digital library of service manuals.
It’s wonderful to see our latest shipment of general hospital equipment and resources to assist with the Ebola response arriving in another part of the DRC.
The local team have also really appreciated the biomedical engineering training programme we supplied. They recognise the enormous long-term impact this can have, developing the local skills needed to maintain, repair, and keep the equipment working for years to come.
