REMEDY is the P&S chapter of the national organization by the same name and stands for "Recovered Medical Equipment for the Developing World."  Our focus and efforts reflect the name of the organization.  We recover unused and surplus medical equipment from affiliate hospitals and ship them to clinics and hospitals in the developing world that are in dire need.  REMEDY is run by volunteer students in collaboration with hospital administrators and our field partner the Afna Foundation.  Volunteering with REMEDY is a great way to put a dent in a very real, yet very solvable problem.  It also gives you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with all types of medical equipment long before you hit the wards.  So if you would like to educate yourself while helping solve international health problems, REMEDY is for you.
