SHF Partners with Johns Hopkins

SHF has partnered with Johns Hopkins Hospital’s SHARE program to accept bulk donations of supplies for our projects in Africa. Supporting Hospital Abroad with Resources and Equipment (SHARE) is a group of medical students and health care professionals working to provide international medical relief. SHARE collects unused but clean medical supplies from the operating room and redistributes the instruments to developing nations. In addition, SHARE benefits the hospital by reducing its solid medical waste. Many items from a surgical procedure that have not been used such as gloves, sutures, and gowns are usually discarded. Although these materials may be clean, these items cannot be utilized for a different procedure within the hospital because they are not considered sterile. In addition, legal and regulatory rules prohibit redistributing and reusing supplies. However, the same materials that would be regarded as waste in US operating rooms could be used in developing countries that are in need of such materials. SHF will distribute pallets of these supplies to each of their 10 supported projects in Africa. These supplies will make a huge impact on our efforts to support veterinary medicine in Africa. In addition to supporting the veterinary care of animals, supplies will be distributed to local clinics and hospitals in the regions around our projects, thus impacting human health in Africa as well. We wish to sincerely thank Johns Hopkins for their generous donations to support SHF and our One Health work in Africa!
