MedGlobal, Inc.

Since 2018, MedGlobal has supported over 100,000 beneficiaries in Syria with medical equipment and supplies. MedGloba previously led an emergency response in besieged Eastern Ghouta by donating an ambulance and medical supplies. We further supported over 1,000 surgeries for trauma and burn patients affected by the ongoing war and provided treatment for children with malnutrition, emergency injuries, and chronic diseases.

MedGlobal has built oxygen generators in central and north Idlib that supply oxygen to health facilities in the region. We have also provided over $200,000 of medical equipment, including ventilators, CPAP and BIPAP machines to government and non-government controlled areas in Syria. This equipment supports patients with acute respiratory illnesses who have difficulty breathing without assistance, and has provided direct support to over 56,000 beneficiaries. MedGlobal has distributed health supplies, winterization supplies, and assistance for emergency evacuations for Syrian IDPs. MedGlobal also supports hospitals in Aleppo and Idlib with ongoing medical supplies.

In 2019, MedGlobal teamed up with the Indus Health Network, a not-for-profit organization in Pakistan that aims to provide free healthcare that is accessible to all. MedGlobal organized a mission of international healthcare providers, who traveled to Pakistan with the goal of building the capacity of the local healthcare community, particularly those serving rural areas. The MedGlobal team committed to the delivery of education in the “Train-the-Trainer” model to extend the impact of services provided long after completion of the mission. The following training courses were offered to 647 participants: Helping Babies Breathe, Adult Point-of-Care Ultrasound, Antenatal Point-of-Care Ultrasound, Obstetric Emergencies, Empathy Training. During the COVID-19 pandemic, MedGlobal provided critical PPE to health facilities serving vulnerable populations.

MedGlobal is registered in and has been working in Yemen since 2017, where we have served over 790,000 beneficiaires. The dire humanitarian crisis in Yemen was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, MedGlobal has provided 25 hospitals, rural health facilities, and COVID-19 isolation centers in the most hard-to-reach areas with supplies, critical equipment, medications, and PPE.

In 2019, MedGlobal sent a team of medical volunteers to both the Hadhramout and Marib Governorates to provide medical and surgical services and specialized training courses to the local medical community. MedGlobal has provided several educational initiatives in Yemen, including the Helping Babies Breathe program, point of care ultrasound training, and training on emergency medical triage and trauma stabilization, critical care, and infection control. In all of our work, MedGlobal emphasizes the importance of training local health care providers, and ensuring they have the necessary equipment and supplies, in order to achieve project sustainability and long-term impacts.

In response to increasing malnutrition rates, MedGlobal distributed nutritious food baskets to five IDPs camps in Al Hudaydah governorate and to 168 families in Hadramout governorate, to serve communities on the brink of starvation. MedGlobal is currently launching a Mobile Teams program to bring health care to underserved, hard-to-reach areas in Taiz governorate. The cost of transportation, especially for frequent trips to health centers, is an insurmountable barrier that forces isolated populations living on top of mountains to walk upwards of four hours to reach the nearest health facility.

MedGlobal has been active in Lebanon since early 2018, providing primary and surgical care, as well as mental health services to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese patients. In 2020, MedGlobal provided health facilities in Bekaa Valley, which primarily serve Syrian refugees, with over $12,000 of critically needed PPE and over 55,000 medications to support in their COVID-19 response.

Following the explosion in Beirut’s port, MedGlobal launched an emergency response, which established a medical tent that provided care for affected individuals during the first month post-blast, when hospitals were most overwhelmed. MedGlobal also provided 4 local hospitals and 5 local primary health centers with critically needed supplies, equipment, and PPE to fill gaps following the surge in healthcare needs after the explosion. MedGlobal has launched an elderly home health program to conduct home health visits for vulnerable, low-income elderly residents of Beirut.

Chicago, Illinois is MedGlobal’s first domestic program site. Programs in Chicago were launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the goal of helping to build the capacity of safety net hospitals. MedGlobal’s first domestic partnership is with Anthony Hospital (SAH), an independent, non-profit, community hospital that primarily treats medically underserved communities of immigrants, people of color, and the financially underprivileged. In 2020, we donated a PCR machine to SAH, which allowed for rapid COVID-19 testing. We also purchased much-needed medical equipment including monitors, ICU beds, ventilators, IV pumps, vital sign machines, and capnography monitors, and created training webinars and mental health programming for SAH’s healthcare providers.

Since 2019, MedGlobal has addressed the urgent health needs of local populations and overburdened healthcare facilities in Gaza. MedGlobal has sought to build the capacity of local hospitals through donations of critical supplies and conducting training for local healthcare providers. In June 2019, MedGlobal deployed 14 physicials and nurses to train our Palestinian colleagues on the use of new technologies, and donated 6 portable ultrasound devices to health facilities. In January 2020, MedGlobal assisted in the distribution of $675,000 worth of cancer and dialysis medication to local hospitals, as well as a mammogram machine, 4 baby incubators, and a container of medical supplies valued at $2.3 million.

During the COVID-19 pandemic,MedGlobal has donated critical supplies to local hospitals, including over 722,000 PPE items and 12,000 hand sanitizers. MedGlobal also provided 10,000 COVID-19 test kits and a critically needed PCR machine, to help build testing capacity and stem the spread of the virus. Furthermore, MedGlobal distributed educational brochures on social isolation and personal hygiene to quarantine centers.

MedGlobal is launching an emergency response in Gaza following increasing tensions. MedGlobal will distribute emergency medications, medical supplies and equipment to several health facilities in Gaza, directly improving health services for 10,000 beneficiaries.

MedGlobal has been working in Sudan since 2020 and received registration in the country in 2021. Our programs in Sudan have focused on an emergency flood response and the COVID-19 crisis. Following the devastating floods in Sudan in September 2020, MedGlobal launched a medical response to support 14 health facilities in addressing the influx of vector-borne diseases. In total, MedGlobal donated 7 CBC machines, 7 electrolyte machines and 3 blood bank refrigerators, totaling $60,000 and supporting a total catchment population of 1,040,000.

In response to COVID-19, MedGlobal distributed vital supplies and equipment to 8 hospitals in 6 Sudanese states. MedGlobal provided $98,810 worth of PPE to these facilities. We are also installing an oxygen generator in South Darfur that will serve 4.5 million people. Once completed, this will be the largest public oxygen generator in Sudan. We have provided training for medical staff in the area on how to optimally use the oxygen the generator will produce, in order to ensure long-term success for the project.

MedGlobal is currently facilitating the rehabilitation of a children’s hospital in Khartoum to improve the delivery of health services for children in need. We are also providing health services to Ethiopian in Gedaref State through a clinic in a refugee camp.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, MedGlobal is launching our first programs in India in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The goal of our India projects is to provide life-saving oxygen equipment and antiviral medications to treat patients with acute respiratory infections during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

MedGlobal is constructing an oxygen generator at a hospital in Mumbai that will benefit patients free of charge. We will also be training 100 health workers on how to use the oxygen generator and how to appropriately administer oxygen to patients. Biomedical engineers will be trained on the use and maintenance of the oxygen generator. Furthermore, MedGlobal will be providing critical oxygen supplies, as well as life-saving antiviral medication health facilities serving vulnerable groups.

MedGlobal has been registered and operating in Colombia since early 2019. MedGlobal has provided 50,000 free primary, dental, and prenatal care consultations to Venezuelan migrants and refugees through a health clinic in the Comuneros neighborhood of Cúcuta. MedGlobal has also coordinated 57 volunteer deployments for medical providers with a variety of specialties to improve the availability and quality of comprehensive, specialized care at the Comuneros clinic. When COVID-19 left Venezuelan migrants stuck at the border, MedGlobal responded by providing health services at a shelter in Cúcuta, where migrants awaited permission to cross back into Venezuela.

In April 2021, MedGlobal established a health clinic at Los Patios Migration Center in Colombia, in order to provide free, comprehensive medical care to “walking” migrants from Venezuela along their journey. Available services include primary care, OB/GYN, psychosocial support services, laboratory services and medication. The clinic also provides rapid testing for COVID-19, as well as the COVID-19 vaccine when it becomes available.
