Midmark
announces PQMD Membership
Midmark announces membership to aid in World Health Policies helping to
sustain a variety of global health programs…
DAYTON, Ohio, October 1, 2014 — Midmark recently announced its
membership in the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD) and
appointment to the Board of Directors. By becoming a member, Midmark
has the opportunity to further strengthen its product donations program
with funding, volunteers, schooling and other services to sustain a
variety of global health programs. Midmark will collaborate with
national governments, multinational companies, and international
nongovernmental organizations in order to track disease elimination as
a public health problem, expand healthcare communications, create the
competence of in-country healthcare workers, and aid in local
health-related services. Midmark and PQMD will accomplish this through
setting and endorsing quality standards, spreading awareness and
influencing courses of action.
“Like PQMD, we are committed to bringing measurable health impact to
under-served and vulnerable people through active engagement with
global partners and local communities,” said Mitch Eiting, global
community relations manager. “Midmark will now have input at the table
regarding global health policies related to quality medical donations.
Midmark will thus be in a position to support the PQMD vision by
assuring excellence in medical product donations and service delivery,
geography and economic status are no longer barriers to everyone having
the opportunity of living a healthier life.”
Through membership, organizations can share the common goal to join
together, locally and globally, in effectively supporting those in
communities with acute healthcare needs. In addition, PQMD membership
provides the opportunity to collaboratively share experiences and
knowledge that continually shape and strengthen PQMD’s “Best Practice
Guidelines” for delivery of donated and purchased medical products and
associated services.
