The membership of the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD) is comprised of non-governmental organizations and pharmaceutical and medical supply manufacturers who share a common commitment to advancing effective drug and medical supply donation practices.

Involved in various aspects of the donation, delivery and/or distribution of medical products, PQMD member organizations independently support diverse efforts. These may range from assisting victims of natural disasters to building sustainable healthcare services for underserved populations. Some PQMD members are involved in programs to combat specific diseases, while others secure critical supplies for under-resourced clinics and hospitals around the world. Initiatives may target specific populations such as refugees and displaced people, while others focus on children, mothers or whole communities within a region. Although PQMD members are involved in projects that vary in scope and purpose, they share a common vision - that of increasing the quality of medical product donations.
