Palo Alto Rotary - Rotary Intl Activities

MediShare International is a comprehensive program of the Medical Amateur Radio Council (MARCO) that provides opportunities for members worldwide to SHARE their talents, expertise, surplus medical/dental equipment, medicines and supplies to clinics, hospitals, and dispensaries, especially in developing and Third World nations as well as in areas on this continent and worldwide that sustain natural disasters.

Palo Alto Rotary's Dr. Robert Smithwick was instrumental in the formation of MediShare. Palo Alto Rotary continues to support this organization through Rotary Foundation grants and Dr. Smithwick efforts. In his most recent "Radio Project", Bob worked with a small Rotary Club in Zambia to get the necessary government approval for import and installation of new radio equipment and solar panels in rural hospitals.
