Plan
In 2017, I and my team we developed an egg incubator machine for helping the local farmers. To make it affordable, this hatching machine was made based on locally available materials because the existing hatching machine are expensive and maintaining them is a big challenge to the farmers.
After seeing the positive results from our hatching machine, I decided to save the life of the premature and low-birth-weight babies. In developing countries like Rwanda, mortality for these infants is particularly high because the hospitals don’t have access to the neonatal care boast. According to the WHO, 15 million babies are born preterm every year. Preterm birth complications are the leading cause of death for children under 5, causing an estimated 1 million deaths in 2015 globally. Many survivors of preterm birth face a lifetime of disability, including learning disabilities and visual and hearing problems, (WHO,2018).
In Rwanda all healthcare centers and many district hospitals don’t have access to the expensive neonatal equipment and it is a challenge to the hospitals to take care and transport infant babies from district hospitals to the main hospitals due to the lack of the portable neonatal incubators. Additionally, keeping premature babies warm at home is another challenge to the family.
