Payment

The medical mission packs and the bulk of the actual handling expenses required to distribute them are contributed by the Bausch Foundation in the interest of providing better health care for medically underserved persons.

The Bausch Foundation contributes products and the majority of handling expenses required for distribution. To offset the remaining handling costs, there is a required $65 tax-deductible service fee per order, which includes shipping costs, payable directly to MAP International.

Fees resulting from the need for expedited shipping services are the responsibility of the recipient. Once final review of criteria for partnership is confirmed, your request can be shipped as necessary to meet your delivery deadline.

MAP recognizes that some mission trips require a range of products that is broader than that offered in the Bausch Foundation International Medical Mission Program. Therefore, we would like for you to be aware of MAP's Medical Missions Pack program which is part of an independent program created and administrated by MAP International. For more information about this program, go to map.org/medicines

Eligibility will be determined based on completion and review of application forms submitted to MAP International. A signature of a physician will be required to be on file as well. This digital signature will be required at the time of your application. All licenses are verified against current databases.

Packaging

Bausch + Lomb orders are custom built per physician based on specific needs. Orders are accompanied by a Customs Paperwork and Packing List allowing for easy navigation through Customs.

As a standard practice, the Bausch Foundation and Bausch + Lomb follow the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury in regards to the sanctions, and other international mandates, developed in close cooperation with allied governments.

As such, there are some countries under sanction to which the Bausch Foundation may not allow our products to be sent. Please see the comprehensive list of countries under sanction by visiting the Office of Foreign Asset Control. You may also learn more at the Bureau of Industry and Security.

MAP is responsible for ensuring compliance with the sanctions, and the Bausch Foundation’s interpretation of those sanctions.
