WHO WE ARE

MSAP

The Medical Students’ Aid Project allows medical students at the University of NSW the opportunity to contribute positively towards developing world health via sending targeted aid to hospitals in the developing world during their elective term. To ensure that we are supplying appropriate and effective equipment, the hospitals are asked to compile a ‘wishlist’ of the medication and equipment that they require. These donations are then delivered when our medical students arrive at their elective placements. The personal presence of our students allows assessment of suitability and efficacy of our donations.

“We couldn’t help but wonder how a country so close to Australia could be existing in such poverty, with incredibly visible sub-standard housing and living conditions that wouldn’t be seen even in Australia’s poorest areas.”
