What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Biomedical Equipment Training and Repair Service

Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Program
Responds to outbreaks across the globe to ensure that healthcare providers have the proper supplies and tools to protect themselves and combat the disease.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
1. Achieve Greater Recipient Impact: Improve the overall recipient experience and create opportunities for greater impact.
2. Create Capital Efficient Growth: Ensure economic growth in support of MedShare's mission.
3. Ensure Organizational Excellence: Build organization capacity and vitality.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
- Develop supply + equipment offerings focused on specific health priorities in each country we serve.
• Provide training + services tailored to specific health priorities w/emphasis on building biomedical efficienty and capacity
•Research MedShare's capacity and expertise in 2 target countries
• Implement technology enhancement to make process user friendly
Our work aligns around four specific programs: Maternal Child Health, Infectious Disease Control and Prevention, Primary Care and Disaster Relief. In addition, our Biomedical Equipment Training and Repair Service works to increase health system's sustainability in-country by providing training to end-users, technicians and others in how to use and repair sophisticated biomedical technology.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
1. Strong logistics and operational expertise in the field of medical surplus recovery.
2. Strong biomedical program to ensure that all equipment shipped to recipient hospitals is needed and is fully-functional.
3. Strong relationships with hospital and clinic physicians and staff around the world.
4. Unique online ordering system that allows recipients to order exactly the supplies and equipment they need, rather than just shipping what we have available.
5. Strong partnerships with hundreds of U.S. hospitals and health systems who recycle their unexpired products to MedShare.
6. Strong partnerships with corporate manufacturers who donate medical supplies and equipment.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
MedShare has aligned its work around four key programs and one service. They are Maternal and Child Health, Disaster Relief, Primary Care, Infectious Disease Control and Prevention, and Biomedical Equipment Training and Repair Service.
We continue our work in establishing two research studies in Liberia and Nicaragua to gather data on our impact on strengthening health systems. This study will help us to provide solid data to our donors around our impact as well as allowing us to further refine and strengthen our work.
