Innovating to save lives by making surgery safer around the world

Organised by Lifebox USA

Invest in Lifebox and contribute to saving patient lives every day. Your gift helps us deliver essential tools and training to those on the front lines of surgical and anesthesia care.

For millions of people in low-resource settings, there’s no such thing as a ‘routine operation’. Surgery is urgent, life-saving – and often unsafe. Lifebox makes surgery and anesthesia safer on a global scale.

Story

When you invest in Lifebox, you make surgery a reality for millions around the world every year.

Lifebox's innovations in the field of global surgery are many. Your support can help projects like SAFE OR, which promote effective teamwork in the operating room. It can help providers in hospitals like Menelik II in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia receive training to drastically reduce surgical infections through Lifebox's Clean Cut program. Our donors also make possible the development of tools that medical professionals in low-resource environments crucially need to deliver safe surgery. The new Lifebox Light will ensure that surgeons are not operating on their parents without safe and adequate levels of illumination. And of course, a gift can also support the delivery of Lifebox's signature innovation, the pulse oximeter, which for just $250 can help patients receive anesthesia and life saving surgical interventions in much safer conditions.

In the words of one of our partners, Dr. Fatungase Oluwabunmi in Nigeria who recently texted us after receiving a Lifebox pulse oximeter with a probe that works for small children:

The Lifebox pulse oximeter has changed the game in our pediatric anesthesia practice -- it has given us a big relief to be able to monitor little fingers and perform safe anesthesia for children in the emergency room, operating suites, recovery room, and ICU. It has made our procedures safer and faster too.
