Donating medical supplies can make a life-changing impact on communities in need. However, when it comes to prescription medications, there are strict guidelines and regulations in place to ensure safety, quality, and compliance with medical standards. If you’re wondering whether you can donate prescription drugs to Ujala International, here’s what you need to know.
Do We Accept Prescription Medications?
At Ujala International, we are committed to providing safe and effective medical aid. Unfortunately, we do not accept opened or used prescription medications due to safety concerns, regulatory restrictions, and the potential risks involved in distributing pharmaceuticals without proper control.
However, we may accept:
✅ Unexpired, factory-sealed prescription medications from verified pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, or licensed medical institutions.
✅ Bulk medical donations from healthcare providers that meet national and international health regulations.
If you represent a healthcare organization looking to contribute surplus medicines, please visit our donation page to discuss eligibility.
Why Are There Restrictions on Prescription Medication Donations?
There are several reasons why donating prescription drugs is highly regulated:
- Safety & Quality Control – Expired or improperly stored medicines can be harmful.
- Legal Regulations – Prescription drugs are subject to strict laws to prevent misuse.
- Proper Handling & Distribution – Medications require specific storage conditions to remain effective.
We encourage donors to explore alternative ways to support our mission, such as donating medical equipment, hygiene products, or financial contributions to fund the purchase of essential medicines.
