Medical Aid Initiative

Medical Aid Initiative is a small non-profit organization based in the United States dedicated to promoting sustainability in healthcare. With a team of three employees, the organization focuses on reducing waste and improving access to medical resources. Medical Aid Initiative works to achieve its mission by recovering large donations of medical devices and clinical supplies from UCLA Health. These resources are then redistributed to both international and domestic healthcare organizations in need. In addition to redistribution efforts, the organization seeks to raise awareness about medical sustainability within the UCLA community. To accomplish this, Medical Aid Initiative hosts educational workshops and events for UCLA affiliates, promoting best practices and highlighting the importance of environmentally responsible healthcare.
