Dear Friend, 

Across the world, healthcare providers lack the essential tools and resources to provide safe surgical care for their patients. Lifebox was founded to tackle this crisis of unsafe surgery. By investing in tools, training, and partnerships, Lifebox is making surgery and anesthesia safer for every patient, every time.

Here are five ways you can help us bring safe surgery and anesthesia to everyone, everywhere: 

1. Lifebox’s work has had a huge impact! Since our founding in 2011, Lifebox has made 181 million safer surgeries, working across 116 countries and training 12,000 healthcare providers.

2. Distributing a Lifebox-Smile Train pulse oximeter for $250 each protects patients during anesthesia. Pulse oximeters rapidly measure the blood oxygen level and are essential for an operation to be safe. Yet thousands of operating rooms and recovery beds still lack pulse oximetry – putting millions of lives at risk. To date, 33,000 Lifebox-Smile Train pulse oximeters have been distributed worldwide - alongside training - for safe anesthesia care.

3. “It is important to have continuous training…I’ve taken Lifebox’s training and I understand how critical it is to adhere to the Checklist and with more effective use of the Checklist, surgery not only becomes easier but safer, as well.” 
- Dr. Nardos Aynalem, Gynecologist and Obstetrician,  Alert Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 

 

Donations allow us to support medical providers with training, so they can provide the best care possible to their patients.

4. Donations allow us to scale the impacts of  Clean Cut, Lifebox’s surgical infection reduction program. Surgical infections are a common but devastating complication of surgery. Results from Clean Cut  have shown a 35% infection reduction for all surgical patients with sustainable results.

5. Lifebox responds to global needs. Lifebox supported healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic with strategies and resources - including distributing 8,800 pulse oximeters across 53 countries and 335,000 items of Personal Protective Equipment. As the war in Ukraine took hold, we provided critical resources including surgical headlights and 260 pulse oximeters – to support anesthesia care in Ukraine.
