More about this course
  • Unavailability of essential clinical equipment can be a serious problem in low-resource settings.
  • Whilst medical equipment donations can play a critical role in filling gaps, without careful planning, donations can fail and even become a burden on the receiving institution.
  • On this course, developed in collaboration with the Tropical Health Education Trust (THET), you'll learn best practices in planning a donation of medical equipment to a low-resource setting.
  • You'll discover how to decide what to donate to have the greatest long-term impact, how to ensure your donation will be sustainable, and the key pitfalls to consider.
  • Using case studies of successful donations in different contexts, you'll have the opportunity to discuss and develop your ideas with other learners.
  • You'll also cover organisational issues like deciding on where to buy the equipment, shipping, customs, and costs to budget for.
  • Yes. At the end of the course, you'll be introduced to funding schemes that you can apply to today and specific reference will be made to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the challenge of sourcing high-quality Personal Protective Equipment during this time.
