Blueprints For Pangaea
Unverified non-profit organisation
Blueprints For Pangaea (B4P) is a 501©(3) not-for-profit medical surplus recovery organization (MSRO) that provides sustainable solutions to inefficient health care resource distribution. A social enterprise, B4P is a network of university chapters united in addressing global health care inequalities by reallocating excess, unused medical supplies—that would otherwise be discarded—from U.S. hospitals and suppliers to those overseas in need. With fewer medical resources to process, partner hospitals are able to cut expenses and reduce their environmental footprints while gaining community goodwill. Since the organisation obtains medical resources via donation, they can in turn offer them to foreign hospitals at massively-subsidized prices,
enabling affordable, higher-quality patient care overseas.
To date, B4P has collaborated with Ghana’s Ministry of Health and the cabinet of the prime minister of Niger to reallocate over 30,000 pounds of medical resources to hospitals in need. It estimates these resources will over time positively impact the lives of over 100,000 patients and effect $1,000,000 worth of social change.
