Donate leftover medicines and save lives

Have you ever realized that the leftover medicines in your house can actually give a new lease of life to those who die for want of medicines or because they can't afford to purchase medicines.

Patients do not take the medicines prescribed for them for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes people are discharged from hospital with a bag of medicines to take home just in case they suffer certain symptoms - for example they may be given some extra strong painkillers in case they suffer severe pain after an operation.

Sometimes a medicine doesn’t suit the patient and they go back to their doctor to get something different. Sometimes the patient gets better and doesn't need the medicine after all, and sometimes sadly the patient dies.

These unused medicines are literally life-savers to people in desperately poor parts of India who would otherwise be unable to afford them , or even in some cases may be treated at a health care centre that simply cannot obtain them.

www.Givemedicines.org is a web based platform which aims to bring individuals and organizations who wish to donate unused medicines and Organizations / NGO's who need medicines together.

So open your cupboards, medicine chest , organize a unused medicine collection drive in your locality or office and donate them to the organizations who need them.
