Medical Supplies

Medical Supplies 

Thanks to donations from our supporters we are able to send donated medical equipment and medical supplies to our country partners in Romania, Moldova and Albania. We are also providing support to Ukraine, and regularly donate much needed medical supplies.

We recently held an event in Moldova, in aid of those suffering in Ukraine, and the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska sent the following message: 'Thanks to your generous contributions, the Ukrainian patients will know that they are not alone. Your support today is an important contribution to the health and safety of hundreds of children. It is a contribution to a peaceful sky, which will surely be above both Ukraine and Moldova. Every saved life is a saved world' 

So far we have sent more than £1.6m worth of medical supplies, which is made up of more than 36,703 kgs to Moldova, 33,935 kgs to Romania and 11,072 kgs to Albania.  This gives a total of over 81,710 kgs. These donations make a real difference to patients in those countries.       

Donated items include breast prostheses, wigs, stoma bags and more.

Stoma bags and equipment are not widely available in Moldova. Provision of medical supplies has made a real difference to patients in this country. So far we have supplied more than 30,000 stoma bags to Moldova.

Please do not send any parcels directly to our country partners. Due to changes in custom regulations, all imports are subject to custom taxes and duties paid by the importer, which will in turn incur charges that the charity will have to pay. Please only use the UK postal address provided.

Unfortunately we are unable to accept any medicines or expired items. All donated items must be within date for at least a year. Due to being a small charity, we are unable to offer any type of collection service.

Medical supply shipping costs are a significant cost to our charity. Please consider donating now to help us transport these items to people in desperate need.
