Postpartum Hemorrhage is one of the leading killers of women in Uganda today. To solve this problem, a team of Biomedical Engineers all from Makerere University came up with a Postpartum Hemorrhage Wrap that we hope will save these lives. youtu.be/PvZA0YgoYvw

At @UCTMedTech, we came across an article highlighting the incredible innovation stirring up a revolution across the African continent: "A quiet revolution is unfolding across Africa; one that challenges the outdated notion that medical innovation, and supplies of equipment, must always flow from the ‘Global North’ to the ‘Global South’. In fact, African engineers and innovators are designing healthcare technologies designed specifically for their context. Uganda’s ELITE Vein Locator, developed from Mbarara University of Science and Technology, uses near-infrared imaging to help nurses find veins in difficult cases: a game-changer for paediatric and elderly care in rural clinics. In Nigeria, the Safer Births Bundle developed by the University of Lagos is proving that simple, locally-produced delivery kits can dramatically reduce maternal mortality. In Ghana and Nigeria, Crib A’glow, the MedTech startup has developed a solar-powered phototherapy device for neonatal jaundice that costs 1/10th of imported units and withstands rural clinic conditions. Rwanda's Babyl Health built a telemedicine platform that handles 3,000 daily consultations via basic mobile phones - no smartphones required." — writes Peter Culmer, Professor of Healthcare Engineering, University of Leeds.

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

,availability of clinical and ancillary services, and postpartum monitoring protocols. #PumziDevices

Achieving this readiness encompasses not only availability of our user friendly Pumzi Smart PVD but factors that determine the ways people work, such as team readiness and knowledge to use the device …. #PumziDevices

Whatever facility the pregnant woman is being referred to, its readiness is extremely important ensuring that it is possible to consistently provide high-quality PPH emergency care, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. #PumziDevices

Is our Pumzi Smart PVD enough to prevent PPH on its own? Remembering that PPH can be prevented,but every second counts. “Facility readiness” must play the role then at the real time. #PumziDevices
