This is what global learning looks like. A package delivered to a student, inside is the start of a biomedical engineering journey.

One of our recent shipments was funded by the Fistula Foundation and FIGO, who provided a donation of multiple fistula sets. Our CEO has been visiting Uganda and so was able to personally oversee these donations.

It will be great to see the positive impact this equipment (alongside the three biomedical engineering courses we have sent) will have on patient care through capacity building, and we look forward to supporting the hospital, and many more like it, for years to come.
