Saving lives through safer surgery
Let’s save lives together.
Imagine administering anesthesia to your patient without the use of a pulse oximeter.
In more than 77,000 operating rooms across the developing world, your colleagues have no alternative –
it’s just too expensive. Access is the most significant barrier to widespread pulse oximetry use.
A $250 donation to Lifebox puts this essential safety device into the hands of colleagues who
need it most. Each pulse oximeter comes with training materials and a WHO Surgical Safety Checklist,
shown to significantly reduce operating room complications and mortality rates.
When you donate a pulse oximeter, you’re making an investment that will save lives for years to come.
Become a part of the Lifebox mission.
