𝐔𝐂𝐓 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 #𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 What are you reading this week? 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up a revolution across the African continent: "A quiet revolution is unfolding across Africa; one that challenges the outdated notion that medical innovation, and supplies of equipment, must always flow from the ‘Global North’ to the ‘Global South’.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.
