Countless newborns in developing countries die shortly after birth. MediCradle gives them a chance at life.
Learn how you can helpThe Problem
Every year, 675,000 preterm infants die due to a lack of basic care
13 million
infants are born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation) every year*
50%
of preterm infants in low-income settings die due to lack of cost-effective care*
675,000
deaths that could be prevented with cost-effective interventions.*
OUR SOLUTION
MediCradle is a low-cost infant incubator that has been designed to work in the difficult conditions of developing countries.
High-quality
Designed specifically to operate in challenging, rugged conditions and meets meet all international standards, including IEC 60601.
Low cost
Our cost to produce each MediCradle is $3,690 (90% less than the cost of most new incubators) and we are selling them at cost.
Durable
Designed for developing countries, MediCradle can be operated with very little training, is easily repaired, and is designed to last 10 years+
The POTENTIAL
Just one Medicradle can save over 50 lives per year.
If one hundred operational MediCradles are delivered to facilities in need, the most conservative estimate is that 5,000 infants could be saved each year, or 50,000 infants saved in the first ten years of use.
