Among other programs intended to improve the access to healthcare technology in hospitals of developing countries, Engineering World Health (EWH) runs the Appropriate Technology Development Hub. It consists of a network of university-based chapters where students work in conjunction with EWH to identify the need for, develop and bring innovative, student-designed biomedical technologies to resource-poor hospitals.
