Global Links was founded in 1989 by three women activists. Soon after, the trio made three critical decisions: (1) to focus the organization’s efforts on recovery of surplus from hospitals, breaking from the traditional model that relies on competing for donations from a limited pool of medical manufacturers’ surplus; (2) to seek to establish long term programs in targeted countries within a limited geographic area, rather than organizing scatter-shot donations which have little sustained impact on a hospital’s or a region’s capacity to provide better care over time; and (3) to rely on volunteers to accomplish the bulk of the labor intensive sorting, preparation and packaging of the recovered materials.
