Each year, U.S. hospitals generate enormous amounts of unused yet usable medical supplies, while many underserved communities face critical shortages. B4P unites the two problems by reallocating these supplies to where they are most needed, improving healthcare quality and access for vulnerable populations worldwide, while sustainably minimizing medical waste. International shipments have provided vital support to communities in Mexico, Turkey, Armenia, Ukraine, Nigeria, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Since its founding, the USC chapter has reallocated more than 1.7 million dollars&#8217; worth of medical supplies to local clinics and international communities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9266\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9266\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9266\" src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Students in a warehouse boxing up medical supplies\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2025\/09\/DSC01659.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo\/USC Blueprint for Pangaea Development Team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Over the summer, B4P collaborated with Connect with Africa, sending more than 60 pallets of medical supplies, PPE, and sanitary products, valued at over $573,000, to hospitals in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the Nigeria shipment, recent efforts include donating $42,000 in supplies to Helping Hand Relief and Development, supporting hospitals in Pakistan that are recovering from natural disasters and poverty.
