Our Mission

Engineering World Health:

• Provides students from around the world with the life-changing educational experience of repairing vital medical equipment in the world’s most resource-poor communities.
• In collaboration with local partners in Asia, Africa and Latin America, EWH creates locally-sustainable training programs for biomedical engineering technicians (BMETs).
• Engages the next generation of engineers through educational biomedical engineering kits, university chapters, and design activities to improve global health.

We believe we have a responsibility to stay true to these values:

• Ensuring a scientifically-based and creative educational experience.
• Leaving the communities in which we work with greater capacity than we found them.
• Empowering the biomedical community through intercultural exchange.
• Finding workable solutions through innovation and creativity.
• Serving while partnering with local educators, hospitals and clinics.
• Promoting self-reliance and capacity building.
• Providing challenge without compromising safety.
• Cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion and equity.
