Broken medical equipment hurts everyone.

Patients lose access to needed medical care; Hospitals and clinics miss out on earnings; And spend more on maintenance and repairs. We know that the top reasons for breakdowns & maintenance in Tanzania are unique.

MED International is a US non-profit that provides medical equipment maintenance solutions tailor-made for Tanzania.

Alongside the Ministry of Health and Vice Presidents Office, MED International has been working in Zanzibar for 3 years to plan cost-effective maintenance and put critical machines back into service. MED Internationals sponsors in the US include the Ivy League school Brown University and the multi-million dollar IEEE Foundation.
