The Landscape

The founders of MediMerchant identified two challenges that the medical equipment sector in South-Africa is facing.

Public hospitals and low-LSM individuals are desperately in need of used/refurbished hospital items while not being able to afford new equipment.

Simultaneously, medical equipment in private hospitals has a definite lifespan and are sidelined when they are no longer needed. At this point, they take up expensive storage space and place an administrative and potentially legal burden on hospital management.

By acting as a catalyst, MediMerchant utilizes the gap by pioneering the concept of re-utilization.

Through our contacts and experience, we are in the unique position to marry supply and demand by refurbishing medical equipment and making it available. As well as managing replaced hospital equipment and furniture in order to offer private hospitals a one-stop service to facilitate social investment.

MediMerchant is a private company licensed to own, handle and transport equipment including redundant x-ray machines.
