Saving the lives of newborn and premature babies with respiratory problems.
The Problem
Respiratory distress syndrome is a significant issue for infants, responsible for 40% of deaths within the first 36 hours of life due to respiratory failure. While mechanical ventilator support is available, it is often costly and inaccessible in many African countries. Implementing an affordable, user-friendly bubble CPAP machine could address this challenge.
Our Solution
PlusLife offers a locally made bubble CPAP machine for neonates with respiratory disorder syndrome. The CPAP machine is humidified, high quality, easy to use and clean, and made up using local resources for low resource setting.
