Small Cost, Big Impact - Help Us Create Lifesavers

It costs just $200 to sponsor the training of each lifesaver!  We need your support to train as many lifesavers as possible!  Help us reach our goal of raising $7,000 to train 35 lifesavers by making a donation!

 

With support from the Ministry of Health of Botswana and the American Heart Association, the "Saving Children's Lives" team from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has trained over 200 nurses, 5 trainers, and has helped to reduce infant mortality at Scottish Livingstone Hospital in Molepolole, Botswana (the target of the program) by 22% since 2013. "Saving Children's Lives" is a program that trains healthcare providers on critical life saving skills to reduce infant mortality in resource limited, rural African communities.

"Targeting effective management of acute illness (i.e. pneumonia and diarrhea) in resource-limited settings could save millions of children's lives each year." Dr. Pete Meaney, Program Director

 

"Today we saw some nurses from our previous training. One particular nurse was very excited to show us that she had her PEARS pocket card on her and that they used it that morning in treating a child who came into their unit severely dehydrated in compensated shock.  The child is doing much better in just a few hours after getting the appropriate fluids and care." - Jessie Leffelman, Program Coordinator

 

"I had the privilege of traveling to Botswana in 2013 with Dr. Pete Meaney, and witnessed first-hand the difference that the Saving Children's Lives program is making in improving the quality of pediatric care in Africa. B-Line Medical is honored to have the opportunity to help support this important cause spearheaded by people that share our passion for improving patient safety worldwide." - Hartley Thompson, President of B-Line Medical
