      Contributing to Healthcare in Underserved Regions

      Merit Medical works with charitable organizations around the globe to distribute products to non-profits, hospitals, and clinics that help meet the needs of underserved communities in emerging countries.

      Merit’s goal is to improve the lives of people, families, and communities worldwide. The following organizations align with this mission and work to develop ways to help more patients in need.

      PEDIATRIC CARE

      In developing countries, sick children are unlikely to have access to life-saving treatments. That’s why Merit partners with organizations around the globe to bring care to children who need it.

      Tanzania - Mending Hearts - Pediatric Care & Philanthropy

      Mending Kids – Tanzania

      Product donations supported Mending Kids, an organization that offers free, life-saving surgical care to sick children around the world. Its volunteer medical teams care for children as well as educate local medical staff and communities.

      “This past year we participated in another successful mission to Dar Es Salem, Tanzania, where we were able to save scores of underserved children from all over the country. This type of work is only possible when we are given the tools to perform our work, and the selfless donations from Merit Medical were absolutely critical to our success. Without the generous supply of catheters, wires, and other products provided by Merit, many of the children we were able to help would have never had a chance. We are deeply grateful to Merit’s unwavering support, and on behalf of the children of Tanzania . . . thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

      Evan M. Zahn, MD
      Mending Kids

      El Salvador - Gift of Life International and Health Care International - Philanthropy

      Gift of Life International – El Salvador

      Through the work of Gift of Life International, Merit product donations helped physicians and nurses in pediatric cardiac centers worldwide provide reliable care and critical treatment to children in their country or region of birth.

       

      Health Care International – El Salvador

      Merit donated products to Heart Care International, an organization that provides free, high-quality surgical and medical care to children and teenagers with heart disease in developing countries. Heart Care International also trains host-country medical professionals to perform critical diagnostic and surgical therapies, helping them to treat patients independently into the future.

      CARDIAC CARE

      Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally, with more than three quarters of these deaths taking place in low- and middle-income countries.1 Merit donates products to organizations that make treatments accessible to patients who otherwise could not afford cardiac care.

      Boston Cardiac Foundation – Ethiopia

      Boston Cardiac Foundation – Ethiopia

      Merit product donations supported the Boston Cardiac Foundation (BCF), an organization that provides medical technologies and services to less developed countries around the globe. BCF physicians, nurses, and technologists perform cardiac procedures free of charge.

       

      RENAL CARE

      Ten percent of the world’s population is affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and millions die each year because they do not have access to affordable treatment.2 To help make life-prolonging dialysis treatments available to these patients, Merit donates products to programs that use them.

      Bridge of Life Foundation - Jamaica - Philanthropy

      Bridge of Life – Jamaica

      Merit products went a long way to help kidney patients cared for by the Bridge of Life (BOL) organization. Inspired by DaVita Inc., BOL supports many facets of kidney care, including dialysis clinic upgrades, clinical and technical training, patient treatment and follow-up care, and patient education.
