Medical Goods Donations

Each year Esperança, Inc. sends one sea shipment full of donated medical goods to our Bolivian partners in Tarija. These supplies are used by our surgical volunteer teams and distributed to hospitals in need in the region. We appreciate any medical materials or supplies that you may be able to donate!

Currently, we are accepting donations that can be used for a variety of surgical specialties including: general surgery, anesthesiology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, urology, and gynecology. We accept both expired and non-expired materials and supplies. We are NOT able to accept medications.
