Pillars
PQMD’s pillars of work form the foundation of our mission to promote sustainable access to quality healthcare. They guide our efforts to deliver impactful, collaborative solutions that address global health challenges in under-served communities and populations in crisis.
DONATION GUIDELINES
Our Donation Guidelines form the cornerstone of our collective efforts, ensuring that healthcare donations meet the highest standards of quality and integrity. These guidelines drive our mission to influence and assure excellence in healthcare donations, fostering trust and accountability in global health partnerships.
DISASTER RESPONSE
PQMD members are many of the first responders in times of disaster, providing immediate, life-saving healthcare contributions to affected communities. In addition to delivering emergency aid, our members play a critical role in rebuilding healthcare infrastructure, ensuring long-term recovery and resilience.
HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE
Each year, our members contribute hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of medical products and services to address urgent health needs. Through coordinated efforts, we provide life-saving resources to communities in crisis, both in the U.S. and globally, alleviating suffering and supporting recovery in the face of humanitarian challenges.
KNOWLEDGE & INNOVATION
PQMD is committed to advancing global health through research and shared learning. We lead studies that deepen our understanding of trends, challenges, and best practices, and facilitate forums that engage members and external partners to exchange ideas and innovations related to healthcare donations, health systems, and disaster response.
HEALTH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING
PQMD members are uniquely positioned to enhance health systems by improving service delivery, disseminating vital health workforce knowledge, and supporting the development and distribution of medical products and technology. Together, we empower communities to build resilient healthcare systems that meet ongoing health needs.
CLIMATE & HEALTH
Under our newest pillar, members are actively addressing the health impacts of climate change. Together, we develop and implement strategies to mitigate and adapt to the health consequences of climate-related events, ensuring that vulnerable populations are protected and resilient in the face of environmental shifts.
