Lifebox Foundation
For millions of people in developing countries, there鈥檚 no such thing as a 鈥榬outine operation鈥�. Surgery is urgent, life-saving 鈥� but often unsafe.
At Lifebox, we are dedicated to improving the safety of surgery and anaesthesia around the world. We provide surgical teams in low-resource countries with the tools and training they need to deliver safer care to their patients.聽 As our Co-founder and Chair Dr Atul Gawande said, 鈥淏y doing these simple things, we鈥檙e safeguarding individual patients one by one鈥�.
Lifesaving equipment
The pulse oximeter is the heartbeat of the operating theatre, making sure that a patient鈥檚 blood oxygen does not drop to a critical level.聽 It鈥檚 the most important piece of monitoring equipment required for safe anaesthesia.
Empowering clinicians globally
Healthcare workers around the world are working in conditions blighted by war, poverty and a shortage of resources.
Lifebox is distributing oximeters to surgical teams who cannot afford an oximeter, and provides training so that they can use the oximeter effectively.
