Collaborating for a better future in orthopaedic care
In 2023 Medical Aid International and the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) have joined forces in order to make a significant impact in the field of orthopaedic care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This collaboration aims to increase access to quality surgical instruments in order to enhance patient outcomes in orthopaedic surgeries. We invite you to be a part of this meaningful partnership by donating orthopaedic instruments to make a tangible impact on the lives of those in need.
Why Collaboration Matters
- Strengthening Global Healthcare: By combining the expertise of Medical Aid International and the BOA, we can extend the reach of orthopaedic care to underserved regions worldwide. Your contribution will help us equip medical professionals with the tools they need to perform life-changing surgeries.
- Sustainable Solutions: Collaborative efforts enable the responsible reuse of high-quality orthopaedic instruments, reducing waste and promoting a more sustainable healthcare system. By donating your instruments, you can play a vital role in extending their lifecycle and maximizing their impact.
- Empowering Local Communities: The collaboration between Medical Aid International and the BOA empowers local healthcare providers to deliver high-quality orthopaedic care in their communities. By donating your instruments, you can directly support the skill development and capacity building of medical staff in resource-limited settings.
