This project is for CURE International, a non-profit organization with the intent of supplying first world medical care to third world countries. What they want done is to implement barcodes into their current database system. They are also looking into making their current database more flexible and allow it to do more. The benefits include a better way of organizing all the donated materials, help with auditing situations, and increased ease of manifest for creation for containers that they send to locations worldwide.
Cure International is a non-profit organization that seeks to assist children in third world countries. From their base in Lemoyne, they procure medical supplies from donors, vendors, and other organizations to supply their hospitals across the globe. They currently have several hospitals running, and there are more on the way. The hospitals are run by trained nationals, in order to prepare them in the event of CURE no longer being able to support them. Cure International Transcription Services (CITE) is a partner organization that provides voice-transcription services. All of the profits from CITE help to support CURE’s efforts. The database itself will be for CURE, and it will better help the people who work for it in being able to organize their inventory.
