I work for Partners in World Health (PWH) we facilitate the collection and distribution of high-quality medical supplies and equipment for the benefit of individuals and communities in need, both locally and internationally. (www.partnersforworldhealth.org) We were in a bind looking to try and source local suppliers for one of our overseas partners desperate for equipment. A quick search on ThomasNet revealed not only more local suppliers than we knew off but a national network of potential partners. After a quick correspondence with our contacts at ThomasNet we not only sourced much needed contacts but were enrolled in their donation program that has helped us enormously.
