Background

The Wishlist Project aims to contribute to global health equity by sending targeted aid to hospitals in poorly resourced areas via medical students completing their elective placements there.

To ensure that we are supplying appropriate and effective equipment, the hospitals are asked to compile a ‘wishlist’ of the supplies and equipment that they require.

VSAP works with hospitals and medical suppliers in Australia to fulfil these wishlists and these donations are delivered with the medical student when they leave for their elective placement.

Since its inception in 2005, VSAP has delivered over $30 000 worth of equipment and monetary donations to countries as diverse as Guatemala, Tanzania, East Timor and Vietnam.
