Library

PQMD is committed to leading the world in the development and promotion of quality medical donation standards and practices.  Inappropriate donations are often due to lack of knowledge, preparation or both on the part of the donors and recipients.  In some cases well intentioned but unneeded donations are made in the wake of a disaster under the belief that any donation is a good donation.

The Library is a designed to reduce inappropriate and unneeded donations by building the capacity of everyone involved in medical product donations to make decisions that are in the best interests of the final recipients.  This site provides a wide range of resources, including: standards, best practice information, speeches, tools, presentations, studies, news and past PQMD Educational Forum videos.  Let us know if you don’t find what you need.
