MediCradle Developing and distributing high quality, low cost, durable infant incubators to developing countries. See www.medicradle.org Thanks!

The MediCradle has been designed to address basic needs of infants in challenging environments. The MediCradle Foundation is a non-profit group of volunteers - 70 doctors, surgeons, attorneys, engineers, nurses, web designers and others who are all working for free in order to design, manufacture and distribute sturdy, low-cost infant incubators (the “MediCradle”) around the world, where over a million premature infants die each year in the first few days of life because they cannot be kept warm. None of us involved in this project will ever receive a penny for our work, so that each MediCradle distributed can be as low as possible (currently about 1/10 the cost of a normal incubator). We are distributing the MediCradle incubators for less than it costs us to produce them. The MediCradle itself is designed specifically for developing countries, is incredibly sturdy, easy to operate and repair, and has numerous features (air filter, bilil umen light, can operate off any power source (AC or DC battery or solar power).

76 MediCradle Incubators. 76 more chances to save a life.

As of the end of September, 76 MediCradle® infant incubators have either been delivered, or are on their way to medical facilities in 21 countries. They’re bringing critical newborn care to places where it’s needed most (see photos below).

Doctors estimate that each MediCradle can save the life of one baby every week.

That could mean:
76 babies saved.
76 families spared unimaginable heartbreak.
76 more newborns given the chance to go home, grow, and thrive.
Every. Single. Week.

And we want to reach even more infants.

If you’re part of a medical facility caring for newborns who need reliable incubator support, we’d love for you to learn more about the MediCradle.

And as always, we hope you’ll consider supporting the MediCradle Foundation with a donation. Our team of more than 70 volunteer physicians, engineers, nurses, attorneys, and other professionals gives their time and expertise to this effort. That means your donations can go directly toward making MediCradles more affordable for facilities caring for babies who need them most.

Whether you need a MediCradle or can help us get one into the hands of a facility that does, you can make a difference.

Together, we can give more newborns a chance to survive — and more families the chance to bring their babies home.

Well, this is pretty crummy of me. ;-) It's been forever since I've posted on the MediCradle site - Sorry! I promise to to better.

We've been getting lots of pictures of MediCradle incubators now in use around the world. Here's a pic I just now received of nurses in Papua New Guinea receiving training on one of the four MediCradle units which will be used in their hospital.

Lots more pics soon!

I thought you all might be interested in two pictures we received from a hospital in Africa, showing two infants being treated in an MediCradle incubator. Best guess is that each infant is less than 13" long...
