Amalthea Trust, supports medical engineers in developing countries.
Our charity of choice

Supporting medical engineering

Developing countries often lack medical engineers, meaning medical equipment is not maintained or even usable because of simple faults. Therefore Amalthea Trust, a non-profit organisation established by Mike and Nicky Hilditch, focus’ on building the capacity of biomedical engineering in low resource countries, specifically Sub-Saharan Africa.

The charity sponsors UK engineers who volunteer to provide practical training sessions, develop training programmes, and offers funding for departmental training facilities and apprenticeships.

We continue to support the trust and all it works towards, sharing and encouraging involvement, providing access to training equipment and hosting workshops. For more information and volunteer opportunities, please visit the website.
