About Us
Inter Care saves lives and alleviates suffering primarily through the provision of surplus medical resources to rural health units in sub-Saharan Africa. We do this by sending regular consignments of medical aid to over 70 partner health units in Sierra Leone, Malawi and Tanzania.
These surplus medical supplies are carefully matched and allocated to meet the needs of our partners, allowing them to care for their patients free of charge.
Which Countries do we support?
Inter Care supports health units across Sierra Leone, Malawi and Tanzania, ensuring they receive the essential medicines and healthcare supplies they need to care for their patients free of charge.
Sierra Leone
We regularly send containers of medical aid to Sierra Leone, delivering dressings, equipment and recycled healthcare goods to rural health units. Alongside container shipments, we also send air freight consignments of surplus medicines donated by various pharmaceutical manufaturers and corporations to units in Sierra Leone.
Malawi
We support health units across Malawi through both regular containers of surplus medical aid and air freight consignments of medicines donated by pharmaceutical manufacturers and corporations. We also procure medicines and healthcare goods locally within Malawi contributing to the local economy in-country.
Tanzania
We have been supporting Tanzania since Inter Care was founded. Due to importing regulations, we focus on local procurement of medicines and healthcare goods in Tanzania. This enables health units to continue to access vital supplies quickly and cost‑effectively whilst supporting the local economy in-country.
Inter Care’s History
Inter Care was first registered as a charity in 1974 and since then our humble beginnings have grown into a well‑established model for delivering essential medical supplies to health units in sub-Saharan Africa.
