Medical equipment can strengthen screening, diagnostics, outreach, and patient care only when it answers a confirmed need and can be used safely over time. OHF reviews every proposed donation before acceptance. Please do not purchase, ship, or deliver equipment until technical suitability, recipient readiness, costs, and responsibilities have been confirmed in writing.
What to Prepare Before You Offer Equipment
- Manufacturer, model, serial number, manufacture date, and current location.
- Clear photographs, quantity, physical condition, working status, and reason for disposal or donation.
- Service history, calibration or safety records, remaining expected life, and known faults.
- Manuals, software or licence requirements, accessories, consumables, probes, leads, and spare parts included.
- Voltage, frequency, plug, power protection, connectivity, environmental, installation, and space requirements.
- Proposed contribution toward testing, packing, freight, insurance, customs, installation, commissioning, training, maintenance, and disposal.
Items We Cannot Responsibly Accept
OHF may decline equipment that is non-functional, damaged, contaminated, recalled, expired, incomplete, obsolete, unsupported, unsafe, incompatible with local power or infrastructure, impossible to maintain, or more expensive to deploy than an appropriate alternative. Unrequested shipments and items without adequate documentation may also be refused.
Acceptance Is More Than Shipping
A responsible handover may require independent testing, decontamination, export documentation, import or customs review, transport insurance, secure storage, installation, user training, commissioning, preventive maintenance, consumable supply, repair planning, asset registration, and end-of-life disposal. The donor, OHF, technical partners, and intended recipient agree who is responsible for each cost and task before movement begins.
How Decisions Are Made
- The donor submits a complete equipment inquiry with photographs and available records.
- OHF confirms whether there is a relevant need and identifies an appropriate technical and recipient review.
- The review considers safety, condition, compatibility, consumables, training, maintenance, infrastructure, logistics, and total cost.
- If suitable, the parties document acceptance conditions, responsibilities, delivery, installation, training, and handover evidence.
- After deployment, the equipment is recorded and follow-up is proportionate to the agreement and available operational data.
Equipment Priorities, Requirements, and Inquiry Form
Use the form below to submit the technical information available. An inquiry is not an acceptance notice. Keep the equipment in its current location until OHF provides written next steps.
Equipment Donation Program
Donate used but functional medical equipment for responsible community health support.
Equipment donations can strengthen outreach, screening, diagnostics, and referral support when items are safe, functional, documented, and appropriate for the Foundation context.
Why Donate Equipment
Functional equipment can extend diagnostic and outreach capacity while reducing program startup costs.
Accepted Categories
Diagnostic, screening, laboratory, patient-care, mobility, logistics, and outreach support items may be reviewed.
Quality and Safety Requirements
Items should be functional, clean, safe, serviceable, and accompanied by available manuals, accessories, service records, and voltage or compatibility details.
Donation Process
Submit equipment details, attach documentation or photos, wait for technical review, confirm acceptance, then coordinate shipping or local handoff.
Shipping and Logistics
Do not ship equipment until acceptance, customs, compatibility, recipient readiness, and logistics responsibilities have been confirmed in writing.
