Medical Relief Exchange

Reports estimate in 2001, more than five million children died of these five preventable or treatable conditions:

• Respiratory infections
• Measles
• Diarrhea
• Malaria
• HIV/AIDS

Each of these diseases can be significantly reduced through access to adequate medical equipment and supplies.

At the same time, over $6.25 billion of perfectly good surplus medical supplies go to waste every year in the United States alone. One of the biggest barriers from turning this surplus into aid is linking those who have the medical supplies to donate with those who need them most. Medical and health related donations are further complicated by expiration dates, dosage levels, contraindications and possible allergies - information which must be shared with those receiving the needed items. In addition, medical equipment is often delicate, bulky, or requires specialized knowledge to be used effectively. Because of the complicated nature of this area of humanitarian aid, the application of Aidmatrix technology can easily make a significant impact in making the work of medical aid providers more efficient - while at the same time reducing the waste occurring in the medical industry.

Aidmatrix Solutions

Aidmatrix's Medical and Health Exchange allows corporate donors in the pharmaceutical, medical supplies, and hospitals to donate on-line to health care non-profits.

Through the network, donors post donations for non-profit organizations. In turn, nonprofits post quantities and descriptions of items they need. The result is an exchange of information and products that can reach its final destination more efficiently and be tracked by both donors and non-profits every step of the way.

The Medical and Health Relief Network is open to all major medical products producers and certified charities and will result in a dramatic increase in available medical aid. The impact is not just a one-time event. The exchange will provide a capacity for charities and medical products donors to work more effectively, saving lives and improving the quality of life of millions of people each year.
