Need Medical Supplies for a Humanitarian Trip?

Apr 1, 2009

The AOF is excited to provide a unique opportunity for osteopathic physicians who participate in international medical missions.

Working with Heart to Heart International, the AOF has purchased Ready Relief Boxes for the osteopathic profession. A Ready Relief Box is a portable pharmacy in a box. At a cost of $500 per box, the recipient receives $7,500 (awp) worth of essential medicines, instruments and supplies commonly used by groups that treat the world’s poor and underserved. Its sturdy, suitcase-like design was built to withstand the rigors of international travel and can treat up to 400 people.

Heart to Heart International is a global humanitarian organization that inspires, empowers and mobilizes the individual to serve the needs of the poor around the world. Heart to Heart accomplishes this mission through partnerships that promote health and provide opportunities for meaningful service. Since 1992 Heart to Heart has provided over $500 million of assistance to hundreds of medical teams working in countries all over the world.
