Solar Power to AI: 3 Innovations Reshaping Oxygen Delivery
For many, the image of medical oxygen is a steel cylinder beside a hospital bed. That cylinder represents a century of medical progress. Today, on the front lines of healthcare, from a regional hospital in Liberia to a rural clinic in Bangladesh, a technological revolution is building upon that legacy. A new generation of innovation is tackling the most persistent challenges in oxygen access: unreliable power, vast distances, and long-term maintenance. The global health community now understands that building resilient oxygen ecosystems is fundamental to health
The Hidden Epidemic: Up to 50% of Medical Equipment in Developing Countries is Broken. Here’s How We Fix It.
In the mission to advance global health, we often celebrate the arrival of new medical technologies: the MRI machine, the ventilator, the infant incubator. We must also consider what happens after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The shocking reality is that in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a staggering percentage of this vital equipment, in some regions as high as 50%, is out of service. This is a systemic failure, resulting in cancelled procedures, delayed diagnoses, and preventable deaths. As our foundational webinar, “Introduction to Medical Equipment
