Support Community Health through the power of Engineering

Frequently asked questions

The merger between EWH and EWB-USA creates opportunities to enhance community health outcomes by integrating our expertise. Together, we will be able to bring holistic engineering solutions to underserved areas.

Imagine a rural healthcare facility in Guatemala or Uganda equipped with repaired medical devices, improved water and sanitation systems, renewable energy sources, and trained staff prepared to maintain this infrastructure long into the future. This is holistic, sustainable community health development and we are on the precipice. Please seize this moment to join us in our movement. 

We want more mothers and children to access critical healthcare services around the world. We are asking for your help with a gift today to make sure that happens. 

Training for Hospital Technicians

Our team has scaled a training program for hospital technicians to be able to repair medical equipment. This training can be the difference between a patience receiving life changing care. Our trainings are currently happening in Uganda. For $50 we are able to train another technician.

Medical Equipment Repair

Unfortunately, most of the medical equipment in low resource hospitals is broken. We send trained volunteers to repair the equipment and train the hospital staff for future maintenance. For $1,800 we can repair critical medical equipment such as incubators for babies, blood pressure machines, and oxygen concentrators.

Your support today will enable us to:
- Conduct EWH-style Institutes in Guatemala in December 2025,
- Provide ongoing medical equipment repair training for hospital technicians in Uganda throughout 2025,
- Continue our partnership with iFixit to host a Resource Library for biomedical technicians,
- Enhance water and energy infrastructure in rural healthcare centers around the world

In 2024, EWH supported 50 biomedical engineering volunteers in Guatemala and Uganda, enabling them to complete 497 medical equipment repairs—valued at $934,000.  These repairs, particularly in outpatient, labor, delivery, and maternity departments, have led to improved maternal and infant health outcomes.
