About the Guidelines
In the mid-to-late 1990s, the World Health Organization, joined by the World Council of Churches and others, called for the establishment of international standards to guide the delivery of donated medical products. The most recent edition of guidelines was approved by the PQMD Board of Directors in 2019.  In addition, PQMD and supporting member stakeholders have developed a set of standards that seek to better align the purpose and practices of sending and host organizations. This is otherwise known as PQMD’s Medical Missions Guidelines. Access the Guidelines here.
