Where to donate Used devices FINAL

One colleague advises this: 'The best of intentions can have negative outcomes so be certain you know who you are dealing with and the environment. There are places in a number of countries that will accept donations then sell them. In other situations, there are viable O&P practices where donations and volunteer efforts are in direct competition with their ability to make a living and service their patients. Make sure your donations are going where they are valued and needed.'



One of the listed organizations is reported to charge for the donated orthoses, and are in conflict with existing, adequate free facilities available for patient's in Guatemala. If you have questions about this contact:
