How Donations Are Processed

Every donation goes through a Quality Check (QC) before it can be included in inventory.
During QC, we verify: expiry date and batch/lot details, packaging integrity, label clarity, storage safety, and suitability.
Each item is then marked as:
Accepted (eligible for inventory)
Quarantined (requires professional review / clarification)
Rejected (not safe/eligible for distribution)

Take the first step!

Turn unused medicines into timely support — safely and responsibly.

Every year, perfectly usable medicines remain unused in homes, clinics, and pharmacies. At Dopamine Foundation, we help redirect eligible medicines to verified communities and partners — with safety checks, traceability, and dignity.

Thank you for supporting community health with care and responsibility.

Storage & Distribution (Traceable & Verified)

Accepted items are stored securely and issued using FEFO (First-Expire-First-Out). We distribute medicines and supplies only through:

Verified partner NGOs, clinics, hospitals, and community programs, and/or
Documented community support pathways as per our internal protocols

We maintain distribution logs and acknowledgements to ensure traceability and responsible use.

Important: Dopamine Foundation does not provide medical advice. We do not substitute doctor consultation. Donations are handled as community support through verified channels.

Items that do not meet safety criteria (rejected/expired/damaged) are segregated and disposed responsibly, with records maintained as per applicable protocols.
