Recycling Medical Equipiment

10:11 am Miscellaneous

As developing countries are constantly facing a lack of supplies, many of our domestic hospitals and clinics have a surplus of these resources. Much medical equipment is discarded in this country because it is labeled old or no longer needed; but this equipment is perfectly re-usable. These recycled medical instruments and medical school equipment are greatly needed in developing countries. As physicians in training, you have direct contact with medical equipment, supplies, and the people that use and discard them. You have the opportunity to explain to your superiors the importance of recycling as much as possible and let them know that you would be willing to make sure this equipment and supplies could be re-used safely in a clinic in a developing country.
