MedSurplus United is a nonprofit organization aimed at reallocating surplus medical equipment and health supplies from US hospitals to under-resourced hospitals and clinics in South Asia and the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area. As a medical surplus recovery organization, they work to provide sustainable alternatives for unused functional supplies. MedSurplus United is developing MedSurplusNet, a new online platform for U.S. hospitals to inventory their surplus medical equipment and for hospitals in need to indicate supply shortages, maximizing the efficiency of surplus supply exchange. Currently, members are collecting donations of mobility aids (crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, etc.) from local nursing homes, physical therapy clinics, and other community members to ship to communities in need in Sri Lanka.
