Engineering World Health is a volunteer organization that helps repair medical equipment. Together we'll attend MedShare repair sessions and hear from experienced industry professionals.
Every year, over $765 billion dollars worth of medical equipment is discarded. Our mission is to bring awareness and sustainable solutions to the global inequities in health care in the developing world. Engineering World Health organizes monthly repair sessions at the MedShare warehouse in Decatur and holds events and workshops on campus throughout the semester to bring awareness to the current state of global healthcare and to resources that will allow us to provide low-cost, innovative solutions and address the issues at hand. During the repair sessions, our members volunteer their time and engineering skills to troubleshoot and repair medical equipment donated by Atlanta hospitals. The restored medical equipment is then shipped to hospitals in countries in need. Make a world of difference! We also hold kit sessions for students to learn how to build a device using the awesome tools in the Invention Studio. No experience is necessary, and all majors are welcome!
