reLink Global Health

What reLink Global Health does

reLink Global Health is a US-based non-profit organization operating as the global healthcare division of The Dalton Foundation, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, with a primary field office in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti. The organization builds and operates a searchable Global Medical Directory (needs.relinkglobalhealth.org) connecting healthcare providers, equipment suppliers, medication suppliers, and facilities across 21 countries, with a companion Provider Portal (portal.relinkglobalhealth.org) that lets organizations register and update listings within a 48-hour vetting window. The platform supports English, French, and Haitian Creole interfaces and exposes country-specific sub-sites for Haiti, Malawi, and Nigeria.

The revenue model is non-commercial: services are provided free of charge to healthcare facilities and providers in low- and middle-income countries, with operations funded through donations, grants, and pass-through foundation funding routed via The Dalton Foundation. Major disclosed donors and partners include the AFYA Foundation (an $180,000 PPE donation in 2020-06), the DAK Foundation (Fetal Doppler Project), Rotary International (Biomedical Training Center of Excellence), Direct Relief and the International Confederation of Midwives (Midwife Kits program), and Vitamin Angels.

Beyond the directory, reLink runs a layered program portfolio including Health Systems Strengthening (healthcare landscape mapping, medical equipment standardization, supply chain support), Capacity Building (a Biomedical Training Center of Excellence, a Biomedical Technician Apprenticeship Program launched June 2023, leadership and governance training, and support for Haitian-owned healthcare-support businesses such as the wholly owned subsidiary Haiti Biomedical Solutions). Operational delivery happens through the Haiti Health Network — a coalition of approximately 500 healthcare organizations coordinating via weekly Zoom meetings and WhatsApp — and through field teams that install equipment, train clinicians, and run post-disaster response (notably after the 2021 Southern Haiti earthquake and during COVID-19). There is no public API, no mobile app, and no disclosed AI/ML capability.

Core offering

Complementing the directory, the organization delivers field-based programmatic services including medical equipment installation and training, biomedical technician apprenticeships, healthcare leadership training, and humanitarian supply distribution (midwife kits, fetal dopplers, vitamins, PPE) coordinated through the Haiti Health Network of approximately 500 member organizations. All services are provided free of charge and funded by donations and grants.

Product overview

reLink Global Health operates a unified platform combining a searchable Global Healthcare Directory (needs.relinkglobalhealth.org) — which connects users to healthcare organizations, equipment suppliers, medication suppliers, and service providers across multiple countries — with a Provider Portal for organizations to register and manage their listings. The platform supports multi-language access (English, French, Haitian Creole) and country-specific sub-sites. Complementing the directory is a portfolio of capacity-building programs including the Healthcare Support Business Development initiative (which invested in Haiti Biomedical Solutions), a Biomedical Training Center of Excellence (grant-funded by Rotary International), a Biomedical Technician Apprenticeship Program (launched June 2023), and Leadership and Governance Training. Operational programs include the Equipping the Caregivers Program (distributing physician, RN, and facility kits), the Midwife Kits initiative (with Direct Relief and ICM), the Fetal Doppler Project (with the DAK Foundation), and the Haiti Health Network — a ~500-member coordination network. A dedicated COVID-19 Resource Page provides case tracking, protocols, and weekly Zoom sessions. The company does not offer a public API.
