Supplier/Donor assistance to “Make” production efforts
If we can provide making and maintenance support to doctors, hospitals we can help stretch those critical resources, keep the healthcare heroes healthy longer.
To cut red tape we need to offer our services free to the institutions to not get bogged down in prolonged procurement procedures.
For that we need community support makers volunteering hands tools and brains, and funders and donors to make the making happen.” Maker Spaces
