Medical Makers is a global community of innovators, patients and healthcare providers who use our hearts, hands, and minds to make healthcare better. Medical Makers is a social enterprise that uses a private sector approach to innovate solutions to fill critical gaps that cannot otherwise be addressed by the traditional humanitarian or non-profit sector, while adhering to the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence. Proceeds from our products and services support our social impact projects. We welcome collaborations with partners who are aligned with our mission to apply accessible and sustainable technologies to develop and implement life-saving and life-changing solutions to further the human rights principles of participation, inclusion, equity, transparency, and accountability.
