American Medical Association
"In the United States each year, fully functional medical items valued at more than $200 million are directed to landfills or incinerators. At the same time, over 1.2 billion people in the world live on $1 a day. Hundreds of millions suffer from chronic hunger and a severe lack of medical supplies." "The surplus from our health system could be used to heal patients and help physicians in the poorest, most desperate parts of the world. The problem is gathering it together and getting it to where it's needed." Alaska Medical Mission does this... Year to date Alaska Medical Missions has sent over 820 shipments to more than 75 different countries.
