Student MedAID is a charity that aims to collect unused medical resources from local hospitals and re-distribute them to under-resourced healthcare institutions abroad. We have two main objectives: to increase healthcare accessibility by supplying medical equipment to resource-limited settings and also to increase the sustainability of the NHS. The organisation began in Edinburgh and has since expanded to form branches across the UK. We are excited to be forming a London branch of Student MedAID!
