Today Rice360 celebrates International Women’s Day (IWD) by spotlighting the vision, leadership, and impact of women. In honor of IWD, join us this week as we feature three women we work closely with who are experts in global health and innovation.

This #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate #mentormothers saving #Kenya’s smallest lives. Through #KangarooMotherCare peer support, these women guide new mothers caring for fragile newborns. Their message: “I did it. You can do it.” Read the story: nest360.org/how-women-are-… #IWD2026

#Sustainabledevelopment depends on strong #healthsystems. Women in #BiomedicalEngineering are ensuring that critical maternal & newborn devices are installed, maintained & optimized for long-term impact. #WorldEngineeringDayforSustainableDevelopment #WomenInSTEM #NewbornHealth

Behind every functioning warmer, CPAP machine, and oxygen concentrator is technical skill. Today we recognize the women #BioMed professionals who keep essential newborn equipment working in high-need settings. #WorldEngineeringDayforSustainableDevelopment #WomenInSTEM

On #WorldEngineeringDayforSustainableDevelopment, we celebrate the women #biomedicalengineers strengthening maternal and #newborncare. Their expertise keeps life-saving equipment functional, reliable, and ready when it matters most. #BioMed #SustainableDevelopment #WomenInSTEM

Over the past 6 weeks, #NEST360 #Kenya🇰🇪supported 11 facilities to install #CelsiWarmers to help prevent #NewbornHypothermia. Hands-on training ensured clinicians & biomedical teams can safely use & maintain the equipment. Sometimes saving a life starts with keeping a baby warm.

GIC+ complete. Clinicians & biomedical engineers came together for 4 days to strengthen their skills as trainers, mentors, & #QualityImprovement champions. Stronger collaboration. Stronger systems. Better #NewbornCare. #GIC #GICplus #systemsstrengthening #NEST360 #Kenya🇰🇪

#NEST360’s Edith Gicheha facilitated the deployment of four #BMET trainings. Technical guidance was provided by Vincent Ochieng, Mary Seifu, Hope Peter & Christina Samuel. The initiative addresses mentorship-identified gaps & strengthens SSNC device management systems #Ethiopia🇪🇹

The training brings together facility-based BMETs, Regional Health Bureau BMETs, and BMET mentors. Delivered by GIC-trained #BMETs with support from the global team, using #NEST360-equipped Skills Labs for hands-on learning & assessment. #BiomedicalEngineering #Ethiopia🇪🇹

The SLL360 program is delivering a Biomedical Equipment Technicians (#BMET) gap-filling training, from Feb 16-27 on Small & Sick Newborn Care (#SSNC) devices across #Ethiopia🇪🇹 📍 Adama | Hawassa | Bahir Dar Strengthening biomedical capacity for safer #newborncare. #NEST360

#NEST360 #Nigeria🇳🇬 conducted strategic facility & stakeholder engagements in Abuja. Visits included Nyanya General, Wuse District, Asokoro District, and Nigerian Army Officers' Wives Association hospitals, advancing quality #neonatalcare services. #NewbornCare #HealthSystems

#NEST36 #Nigeria🇳🇬 delivered technical training on neonatal equipment maintenance across facilities in Lagos & Oyo. Led by Engr. Charles Osuagwu, sessions covered oxygen concentrators, CPAP, radiant warmers, syringe pumps & more. Strengthening HRH for sustainable #NewbornCare.
