MESA - Medical Equipment & Supplies Abroad
We Need your Second-hand Equipment and Supplies
Here’s a Cause You Can Champion and do a World of Good
In the United States, there's a huge wealth of usable medical equipment and supplies that are no longer in use. Some may be in your local hospital, a storage room or even your own garage.
It's a fact... what's simply second-hand surplus in our country is often state-of-the-art to the healing needs of Guatemala, Zambia or Cambodia. Rotarians have the resources to collect, sort, identify, store and ship millions of dollars of still usable medical supplies and equipment.
You are the key. MESA'S efforts in getting surplus equipment and supplies into the right hands would not be possible without your help.
How You Can Help
MESA (Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad) urges all hospitals, doctors, medical groups, clinics, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, home health agencies medical equipment manufactures, medical suppliers, teaching institutions and related institutions and businesses to "partner" in the efforts to meet the urgent needs in the less developed parts of the world. To that end MESA receives, stores and ships medical and humanitarian equipment and supplies.
Impact: We Deliver
Since 2002, each year, MESA has shipped an average of twenty 40 foot cargo containers of donated medical equipment and supplies to Central America, Europe and Africa. It has also shipped a yearly average of 7 emergency vehicles {ambulances, fire trucks, wheelchair ready vans) to Central America.
How can we maintain this level of activity?
Identifying Needs
Through contacts with Rotary organizations, health and educational institutions and attending conferences, such as Uniendo, strategic planning and coordination is conducted so that the identified need is fulfilled by placing the requested medical and humanitarian aide in the correct hands.
Evaluating Requests
This is accomplished through a Project Application form. Upon receipt the application is evaluated by the MESA Board for action.
Procuring and Shipping
All medical equipment and supplies that are donated are inventoried and stored in our warehouse facility. They are subsequently shipped in 40 foot cargo containers to consignees certified to receive duty free items. In order to insure proper distribution to the end user, all projects are Rotary to Rotary.
