What does RAMP do with the Medicines?

All medicine donations are evaluated by doctors to ensure that they are properly labeled, not expired and appropriate for our cause. Any medicines not meeting these criteria are appropriately disposed. Medicine that can provide life saving benefits are sorted and sent to organizations for distribution.
