Résumé	International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) Used Equipment Donation Program in under the leadership of IOMP’s Professional Relations Committee (PRC). We had been shipping used equipment and books and journals to developing countries for the last twenty years. We follow the instructions lead down in the WHO Guidelines for used equipment. The shippers follow the instructions from the Department of Transportation in the USA. The developing countries are served on first come first served basis in general and due care is given on emergency or special needs. We make sure that the used equipment being donated to IOMP is in good condition and we make sure that it meets the need of that country. We also provide guidance on its installation and use. If the developing country needs help in installation or training of their personnel – it can also be arranged. The shipping expenses are required to be paid in advance or arranged by the developing country. Financial help is available in some cases. The donations to IOMP are tax deductible in some cases in the United States. Some countries impose some restrictions such as age of machine and India AERB/BARC issues a NOC for the import of used radiological equipment. By doing this, our aim is to help developing countries in real need for used equipment as they cannot afford to buy new equipment. The experience we had gained in doing this service is presented.
