Access to Healthcare

Product Donations

To supplement the philanthropic support of the Foundation, we proactively partner with humanitarian aid partners — Americares, Direct Relief and Partners In Health — to pre-position products for times of crisis, as well as to address ongoing needs in underserved communities. 

To achieve this, we have implemented a best-practice manufacture-to-donate strategy, factoring the critical needs of our partner organizations into our manufacturing and distribution plans to help ensure the people they serve have access to essential Baxter products.

We are also a proud member of the Partnership for Quality Medical Donations (PQMD), a unique alliance of non-profit and corporate organizations leading the development and championing of high standards in medical supply and service donation.
