Hernando Moncaleano Perdomo Hospital is a public hospital located in the city of Neiva, Colombia, providing high-complexity healthcare services (third level) not only to the people of Huila but also to those from other regions of Colombia, such as Caquetá, Putumayo, southern Tolima, and eastern Cauca. It serves a target population of more than 2.5 million inhabitants, many of whom are vulnerable and have limited economic resources. The hospital cares for newborns with health complications as well as premature babies, attending to around 780 children per year.

The hospital requires a regional oxygen saturation monitor for the neonatal intensive care unit.

This monitor uses "Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)" technology, a non-invasive technique primarily used for monitoring cerebral oxygenation, as well as renal function, in critically ill newborns. Without this tool, such damage might go unnoticed until it’s too late, leading to irreversible brain damage or even death.

Indeed, the monitor would assist the neonatal ICU medical team in continuously detecting acute changes in the neonate's cerebral and renal hemodynamics, as well as in measuring hemoglobin saturation. This would enable them to administer the right treatment with precision and speed, improving oxygen flow to the baby’s brain and kidneys, helping to save their lives, and fostering hope for a future without brain or renal injuries or severe consequences.
