Open Source Medical Supplies

Open Source Medical Supplies (OSMS) is a community-driven initiative that designs, manufactures, and shares medical equipment openly, often utilizing 3D printing and accessible materials. By sharing detailed plans and data freely online, OSMS enables local production of essential items like PPE, masks, and ventilator parts, especially during shortages or emergencies. This collaborative approach reduces dependence on traditional supply chains, encourages innovation, and promotes rapid response to healthcare needs worldwide, ensuring that life-saving equipment is more accessible and adaptable to different contexts.
