10. Comments from MedShare’s Partners One needs to just look at the increasing collections and corresponding shipments to know that support for MedShare is growing and the need for medical products is great. Emory Healthcare hospitals and clinics are proud to be a part of bringing much needed equipment and supplies to healthcare providers around the world. -- John T. Fox, President and CEO of Emory Healthcare It was a pleasure to do what I could to help a very worthwhile cause. Believe me, I gained more from my time spent with MedShare than I could ever give. My wife is from the Philippines and I saw that country on your map. I know from first hand experience what the needs are in third world countries. I hope to work with your organization again. -- Bruce, CIBA Vision Volunteer
16. “ MedShare is a truly win-win solution. U.S. hospitals have an environmentally conscious alternative to throwing away their medical supplies, and hospitals and clinics in the developing world can use those materials to help provide the medical assistance that is so urgently needed.” William Foege, M.D. Senior Medical Advisor to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Global Health Program
