The consignment includes vital equipment to support the ongoing Ebola response, alongside much-needed paediatric and orthopaedic equipment that will strengthen everyday healthcare services for the local community.
On the road to Bunia, DRC... This week, another MedAid shipment has left Entebbe, Uganda, beginning its challenging four-day journey to Bunia Hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
To find out more about the course and the impact it can have at your hospital, please visit: medaidacademy.co.uk/biomedical-eng… or contact [email protected]
“I fixed our X- ray scanner that has been down and the hospital was planning to get a new one costing millions of FCFA thanks to Medical Aid international… I am also grateful for the toolkit it makes work easy and enjoyable.”
“The reality is, our course just works”, the view of the CEO of Medical Aid International, Tim Beacon, when he was asked about the impact of our online biomedical engineering programme.
We are privileged to be continuing our work with FIGO (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics), providing fistula sets to surgeons across low resource environments, vital to supporting women’s health, with the latest shipment being to a fistula surgeon in Niger.
Medical Aid International is proud to announce that a major government has commissioned a further 30 places on our internationally recognised City & Guilds Assured online biomedical engineering programme, having already trained 40 biomedical engineers through our course.
Every item has been selected for its suitability in the demanding environment where it will be used, ensuring healthcare workers have robust, reliable equipment to continue delivering vital care to some of the most challenging and remote communities.
The consignment was carefully organised into multiple sub-shipments before departure, enabling the team to immediately and easily distribute supplies to satellite healthcare facilities.
COVID may have disappeared from the headlines, but the reality in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is very, very different. It continues to devastate lives and place enormous pressure on already stretched healthcare services.
Thank you to our graduates for being such excellent students, and it is great to see the toolkits and textbooks we supplied are ready to be put to good use. Congratulations to all our fantastic graduates, we can’t wait to see what great things you will achieve!
We are thrilled to be celebrating the graduation of another 10 of our newly trained biomedical engineers in Cameroon. We have now trained over 20 students there; it is great to see the programme going from strength to strength and to receive such wonderful feedback.
We're privileged to work with a wide variety of organisations across different countries, all working to bring better healthcare to those who need it. Thank you to our friends at the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA) for equipping a facility in Togo.
We’d like to thank our donors, supporters, volunteers, and logistics partners who make these shipments possible. Their generosity helps deliver this practical assistance. Pictured is Ed our Warehouse Manager who alongside our General Manager Jo has been coordinating our response.
These humanitarian emergencies place immense pressure on already extremely stretched health systems. By working with our partners on the ground we ensure that vital resources reach where they are most needed quickly.
Medical Aid International has recently dispatched our first shipment of seven pallets of urgently needed medical supplies to support healthcare workers and communities responding to the ongoing Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
We're grateful to the leadership, staff, and supporters of Dreamland Hospital for 14 years of shared commitment, hard work, and friendship. Together, we have shown what can be achieved by remaining focused on a common goal: delivering better healthcare for those who need it most.
