Medical Bridges

Houston P. A. hosted by Laurent

Walter Ulrich is the CEO of Medical Bridges and he has vivid stories to tell of operating a non-profit dedicated to exporting medical care to the poorest corners of our planet during a pandemic. He starkly contrasts the challenges of operating in a pandemic versus in normal times. The troubles in our shipping supply chain is literally preventing Medical Bridges from saving lives.
Because the USA's medical community generates nearly $9 billion in surplus product every year (much of it makes sense, as we discuss) but with the help of Medical Bridges, Houston Hospitals can save the surplus and help it save lives in places where there aren't any clinics. In fact, one of the coolest actions Medical Bridges can take involves sending a "Clinic in a Box" built by A&M student. www.medicalbridges.org
