Today we donated over 2.5 tonnes of medical supplies, worth over 200K to provide humanitarian aid for Ukrainians. A huge thank you to @Ozeukes for partnering with us and organising the delivery.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join us in making healthcare environmentally sustainable!
We believe volunteers are integral to our daily operations!

Final words! What is your call to action or opportunity for engagement for attendees?
Dr Nguyen: Reach out to @MedicalPantry, we'd love to work with your hospital, or volunteer. Once you see the amount of surplus healthcare produces, you won't be able to turn away.
“Action feels much better than anxiety”! Kate Charlesworth speaking at the @BetterFuturesAU forum. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This will be my new morning mantra! #BetterFuturesForum
Dr Nguyen: We don't just give supplies, we ask communities on the ground what do you want / need?
It's their choice what they want to use. Given the expiration information upfront and they make an informed decision when choosing their products.
Q: @MedicalPantry what's the deal with expired goods? Why should developing countries use products which aren't deemed good enough for us?
Dr Nguyen: 20% of what we get is expired, 80% are brand new supplies. Mostly to do with excess supply.
Next up: Dr Martin Nguyen from @MedicalPantry
They collect med supplies frmo hospitals / distributors / manufacturers and redistribute them in places in need via humanitarian aid, animal welfare, education providers, and startups.
"We really shouldn't exist -- but we do."
