Doc2Dock Shipment of Medical Equipment
Every day, over 7,000 tons of unused medical equipment are discarded by American hospitals due to overproduction, procedural excess, and regulatory requirements. Doc2Dock collects, sterilizes, and redistributes this equipment to underfunded medical facilities and health clinics around the world. As a result of learning about Doc2Dock’s admirable work, SVQF has pledged broad support for the organization and its goals through holding a fundraiser benefiting Doc2Dock, making direct contributions, and partnering with Doc2Dock to deliver over 30 tons of medical supplies and equipment, valued at over one million dollars, to under-resourced medical facilities in Kenya and Liberia.
