Every year billions of dollars of medical equipment remains unused while women in developing countries die from preventable diseases.

We can fix that.

Why We Exist

~90%

of global cases and deaths caused by cervical cancer occur in the global south.

Decades of underinvestment have left healthcare providers in the global south without the tools to deliver equitable care.

In 2025, the cost of waste in the US healthcare system alone was between $760 billion and $1.1 trillion dollars annually.

HERhealthEQ bridges the gap between unused inventory and the people that need it — better equipping the hands already doing the work, and putting women's health at the center of the standard of care.

35-45x

higher rate of maternal deaths in low-income countries vs. high-income countries.

We source, partner, procure and deliver devices and equipment, focused on solutions for breast & cervical cancers, maternal health and heart disease.

Real access starts with relationships, not transactions. HERhealthEQ doesn’t just parachute in — we build long-term partnerships with local organizations and government bodies who understand their communities from the inside out. They know the language, navigate the cultural context, and understand exactly where the needs are greatest. That local expertise is what allows us to meet women where they already are and build WITH them.

We locate devices and equipment that may have been purchased in excess, are sitting unused in storage or through our unique system of network relationships. HERhealthEQ is also an accredited member of the EU GPO, allowing us to source quality medical materials ethically, responsibly and a specialized non-profit discount rate.

Our Model

HERhealthEQ bridges the gap to access, removing barriers for hospitals, clinics and service partners and delivering the right equipment to the right location. Every piece of equipment makes it safely to exactly where it needs to be, rain hail or shine. We monitor results over time and remain in close contact with our field teams and partners.

We ensure the equipment we find is taken care of every step of the way - from shipping to installation, service contracts and warranty. We train teams and provide educational materials to bolster use and ensure maximum impact.
