MSAP FUNDRAISING FOR EAP 🧡🏥

The Elective Aid Program is an initiative founded in 2001 by the Medical Students’ Aid Project (MSAP) aimed at supplying much-needed medical equipment to hospitals in low and middle-income countries.

Every year, UNSW 5th-year medical students on their elective placement may volunteer to coordinate what equipment their hospital needs and help raise funds to buy this equipment.

This year, we have over 10 students travelling to Tanzania, Zambia, Guatemala and Sri Lanka. They are raising funds to provide vital equipment such as ECG and CPAP machines among others.

Your donation will directly contribute for the following hospitals:

Balapitiya Hospital (Sri Lanka)
Levolosi Hospital (Tanzania)
St. Joseph Hospital (Tanzania)
The Salvation Army's Chikankata Mission Hospital (Zambia)
Hospitalito Atitlan (Guatemala)

Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated!

All proceeds will go to the current/future EAP programs run by MSAP.
