About DONMED Africa
Africa's premier healthcare equipment sustainability organisation
We go beyond donation. DONMED manages the full equipment journey — donation, installation, maintenance, training, research and monitoring — so that every device delivers lasting impact, not just a headline.

The Challenge
Too much equipment ends up in a graveyard
Africa receives enormous quantities of donated medical equipment — yet much of it never reaches a patient. The problem is rarely supply. It's sustainability.
Few
biomedical engineers per hospital
A critical shortage of technical capacity across the continent.
Limited
access to spare parts
Broken machines sit idle for want of a single component.
Poor
donation matching
Equipment rarely matches a facility's real clinical needs.
Our Solution
One integrated model, six core pillars
We close the sustainability gap with an end-to-end system — from donor to patient and every step in between.
Equipment Donation
Sourcing, matching and deploying quality medical equipment to the facilities that need it most.

Success Stories
Trusted by the people we serve
"DONMED didn't just deliver equipment — they assessed our needs, trained our staff and kept the machines running. That is what sustainable healthcare looks like."
"Our theatre was idle for months. Within weeks DONMED engineers restored four devices and trained our technician. We are operating again."
