DOTmed Launches Charity LifeLineTM

New Program Pairs Charities in Need of Medical Equipment with Hospitals and Health Facilities

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DOTmed, the leading public medical equipment marketplace and the leader in online medical equipment auctions, has launched Charity LifeLine^TM, a new program which pairs charities in need of medical equipment with hospitals and health facilities willing to make donations. The program was developed to improve the delivery of healthcare services through the efficient recovery and redistribution of used and surplus medical equipment to needy healthcare facilities around the world.

“Charity LifeLineTM is designed to be a highly efficient exchange between them and charities who provide much needed medical equipment to improve public health around the world. All of us at DOTmed are pleased to be able to provide such a life-giving and enhancing platform on our site.”

The World Health Organization reports that while public health services in developing countries have improved in recent decades, large proportions of the population in these countries still do not have access to adequate healthcare. Recent statistics show that infant mortality rates in low-income regions can be 10 times great than in high-income regions. A significant part of that problem relates directly to lack of access to appropriate and functioning medical equipment.

“We know that there are many hospitals and healthcare facilities with medical equipment which could be put to productive use in developing countries and other regions in need,” said Philip Jacobus, President of DOTmed. “Charity LifeLine^TM is designed to be a highly efficient exchange between them and charities who provide much needed medical equipment to improve public health around the world. All of us at DOTmed are pleased to be able to provide such a life-giving and enhancing platform on our site.”
