IMEC is seeking biomedical engineers to help us in testing, diagnosing and repairing to field serviceability donations we have received from medical surplus. Through our Global Green initiative we receive donations from hospitals and clinics of surplus medical equipment. In most cases this equipment functions perfectly but has been taken out of service due to upgrades. IMEC repurposes this equipment to third world hospitals and clinics to provide access to healthcare for millions that had no access.
Since 1995 IMEC has worked in nearly 80 countries, providing hospital suites and supplies. Last year alone we shipped out over 100 40 foot shipping containers to the less fortunate around the world. Examination suites, maternity suites, surgical suites and more have helped make a difference in thousands of lives.
If you have experience with biomedical equipment and would like to use those skills for humanitarian efforts we’d love for you to visit us and see our vision.

Description
IMEC provides equipment, tools and supplies through IMEC Suites. Each Suite contains all of the equipment, tools and supplies needed to operate a service or department. For example: an Exam Room Suite contains all materials needed a doctor needs to operate an exam room; a Family Farm Suite provides a local farmer with the tools he or she needs to set up and run a small farm; and a Classroom Suites provides the desks, chairs, chalkboards and other materials a teacher needs to create a classroom for his or her students. IMEC serves the needs of local doctors, nurses, teachers and farmers, relying on their knowledge of which materials are most needed for their communities.
