Johnson & Johnson MedTech partners with MAP International to bring its medical products to people in need all over the world.
According to the World Health Organization, each year, globally, there are up to 100,000 new cases of obstetric fistula – a devastating but largely preventable health condition. Over 2 million girls and women worldwide are estimated to be living with untreated fistulas. Since the 1980s, Johnson & Johnson has been a pioneer in partnership and programs that reduce the suffering and stigma of obstetric fistula. J&J provides product donations, innovations in fistula instrument design, support for comprehensive treatment, surgeon training and community outreach to help women suffering from this treatable condition.
Fistula Product Donations Catalog
The Fistula Product Donations Catalog provides select supplies to physicians. Products must be used in charitable treatment of the ill, needy, and infants in developing countries which have a demonstrated need. Fistula shares an enduring commitment to advancing surgical care so more patients live longer, more fulfilling lives.
Conditional to eligibility, a physician may apply if appropriate to their intended surgical procedures abroad.
For U.S. based surgeons: Please submit your application at least 6 weeks before your trip departs.
For visiting surgeons: The normal limit is 1 order per year per surgeon to max 30 boxes of sutures and 2 sets per year (2 bladder sound, 1 organizer, I pair of scissors). Requests for more product will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact MAP International at orders@map.org or 1-912-280-6627.
As a standard practice, J&J follows the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury, in regards to the sanctions, and other international mandates, developed in close cooperation with allied governments.
Please see the comprehensive list of countries under sanction by visiting the Office of Foreign Asset Control. You may also learn more at the Bureau of Industry and Security.
MAP is responsible for ensuring compliance with the sanctions, and the J&J interpretation of those sanctions.
Before applying to access product, please carefully read MAP International’s Policies and Guidelines for Medical Mission Teams
All individuals who receive Fistula product donations are
required to submit a completed feedback form when they return from their trip.
We recognize that some mission trips require a range of medicine and health supplies that is broader than what is offered through the Fistula program. If you are looking for a wider range of products, visit the Short-Term Missions page administered by MAP International.
