What we do

International Health Partners is based on a simple idea: supply and demand.

Healthcare companies have products they want to donate. Healthcare professionals, charities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) want to use products to help people in vulnerable and disaster-hit communities.

We bridge the gap – and make donations happen.

Working with a network of healthcare companies across the globe, we organise, co-ordinate and move donations of medicines and health supplies. At the same time, we work closely with our NGO partners to identify what they need, and to supply them with donations in an effective, safe and responsible way.

These donations facilitate humanitarian work in some of the world’s poorest and most challenging places, including Gaza, Haiti, Iraq, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Yemen, where people lack access to basic healthcare.
