How We Work

Having worked on hundreds of projects globally, we are uniquely qualified to identify existing healthcare system weaknesses and provide solutions. Our WHO inspired site assessment checklist allows us to provide detailed feedback to our customers and offer tailored recommendations. Our dedicated team can carry out this crucial work on site or conduct a remote assessment, allowing us to create a strategic plan for the project.

Unlike generic consultancy services, we appreciate the reality and constraints of working in resource limited environments and can advise which solutions and equipment will be best suited to each project. We understand that equipment and strategies which may be applicable for a larger city hospital may not be appropriate for a rural clinic. With this in mind, we develop bespoke strategies which fit the needs of each project, providing practical, context-specific solutions that address the unique needs of our clients, leading to tangible improvements in healthcare infrastructure.

To further support our projects, we provide online biomedical engineering training as a core part of our offerings. Our effective, well-respected course is Assured by City & Guilds, with each graduate receiving a certificate upon completion.

We appreciate that finances are often the limiting factor for projects. Given our specialisation in low resource environments, we know how to complete projects on a tight budget. This allows us to advise our customers about areas where money can be saved and where funds are best prioritised.

Our strong relationships with a multitude of global medical equipment suppliers mean that we are able to secure equipment even when supply chains are disrupted. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic where supplies were extremely limited, we were still able to obtain key medical equipment, PPE, and consumables for our customers.

We also benefit from donations of medical equipment and supplies from the NHS, medical companies, other healthcare institutions, and individuals. After refurbishing this equipment, to ensure all quality and safety standards have been met, we then provide this as part of our projects. The cost savings from this gifts in kind model are passed onto our customers.

Additionally, we offer comprehensive packages which can include an ongoing consumable supply, allowing for budgets to be forecasted accurately. By supplying consumables as well as medical equipment, we reduce the long-term complexity of procurement.

Since 2001 we have been supplying equipment to LMIC and disaster relief environments. Over these two decades, we have built up a valuable global network of key shipping, clearing, and other important contacts. Our longstanding relationships with locals on the ground means that we are able to create effective logistical plans. Leveraging this allows us to ship medical equipment quickly and efficiently across the globe.

Medical Aid International has experience of working alongside multi-national NGOs and local charities. We can accommodate long-term multi-million-dollar projects as well as one-time single equipment purchases. Regardless of project size, we are here to help. As part of our comprehensive project
management solution, we can undertake and fully manage any project. Our support can include a site assessment, strategic planning, equipment procurement and delivery, as well as installation (where
appropriate). By combining all other elements of our consultancy service together into a cohesive package, it allows us to take the challenges out of projects and handle their overall management.
