Jane Chen: O imbratisare calda care salveaza vieti

Each year, 20 million premature babies are born worldwide, and four million will not survive their first weeks. Many die or suffer lifelong health problems simply because they cannot stay warm, especially in places lacking costly incubators. A low-cost, electricity-free infant warmer—resembling a small sleeping bag with a special wax pouch—keeps babies at the right temperature for hours. By meeting real needs with simple design, this innovation offers hope for families far from hospitals.
