DAYTON, Ohio—The recent installation of new Midmark dental equipment at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia resulted in equipment donations to developing countries.

An order of 47 dental chairs, as well as delivery units and dental lights, was recently placed by the U.S. Army and fulfilled by Midmark. The used equipment was removed and shipped abroad to Bosnia and Burundi, Africa—two underserved regions in desperate need of dental equipment. 
 
“We were extremely happy to work with the U.S. Army to provide quality dental equipment, and also be able to make a donation to areas in dire need of dental care. Twenty-three chairs were shipped to Burundi and twenty-two chairs, as well as delivery units and lights, went to Bosnia," said Matt Poppert, Midmark's director of strategic accounts.
 
Midmark worked in collaboration with World Vision, a humanitarian organization dedicated to assisting children, families and their communities worldwide, to ship and distribute the used equipment. Midmark’s collaboration with World Vision dates back to 2005 when it began donating medical and dental equipment to clinics in remote areas of developing countries.

Midmark also partners with World Vision to assemble caregiver kits with basic medical and safety supplies to help volunteers care for patients with diseases such as HIV and AIDS.
 
“At Midmark, we believe all people deserve quality healthcare, and we are committed to doing our part to make this happen by helping get equipment where it is needed,” says Mitch Eiting, global community relations manager for Midmark. “We are very grateful to World Vision for helping us meet our commitment.”
