A US-based sourcing partner connecting Ethiopian hospitals and clinics with certified diagnostic, monitoring, anesthesia, and lab equipment , inspected, documented, and air-freighted to your facility.
Sourcing brands trusted by leading clinicians
Ethiopia is flooded with low-cost imports that fail on arrival, ship without English documentation, or run on the wrong voltage. The cost shows up later — in storage rooms full of unusable machines and patients turned away.
On any given day, up to 6 in 10 medical devices in Ethiopian public hospitals sit malfunctioning — unusable, miscalibrated, or waiting on spare parts that never arrive. Patients are turned away from equipment their hospital already owns.
A 2023 audit of Ethiopia's top-tier comprehensive specialized hospitals found only 26% of required equipment present and operational. The other three-quarters is the procurement gap — and the reason patients are referred abroad for care that should happen at home.
WHO's estimate for low- and middle-income markets. Every uncontrolled shipment is a coin toss — wrong voltage, missing English manuals, counterfeit parts, or devices that should never have left the factory floor.
A general hospital in Ethiopia received an ECG machine whose software was only in Chinese. It went straight to storage — while the hospital had no other ECG machine at all.

Most people assume US medical equipment is out of reach. The truth is different. US hospitals are required to replace their equipment every few years — not because it is broken, but because American accreditation rules demand it.
When a US hospital upgrades, its perfectly working monitors, ultrasounds, and ICU equipment is liquidated at a fraction of original cost. Linco accesses that supply directly.
Every unit we source was used in a certified US hospital, maintained on a strict service schedule, and FDA-cleared. We verify it is working before it ships, and you receive full documentation before you commit to anything.
The result: hospital-grade US equipment at prices that compete with — and often beat — Chinese distributor quotes.
The Accreditation Rule
Mandatory 5–7 year replacement cycles
The Joint Commission, the body that certifies US hospitals, requires strict equipment lifecycle policies. Working equipment is replaced on schedule — which means a permanent, predictable supply of hospital-grade devices entering the market every month.
Documented History
Every device has a paper trail
FDA 510(k) clearance follows the serial number forever. US hospitals keep detailed service logs. You know exactly where the unit came from, how it was maintained, and that it works — before you pay the balance.
40–60% Below New
Same machine. Different price.
A certified pre-owned unit from a US hospital system is the same full-specification machine sold new to American hospitals — typically at 40–60% below the new equipment cost.
