Our partners at International Medical Corps and FINCA International are helping get Hemafuse into the hands of surgeons throughout Ukraine. With their support, we are excited to share that we’ve received clinician feedback from a successful Hemafuse use case. Head of the Surgical Department at Pershotravyansk City Hospital, Truskalo Oleksandr Mykolayovych, performed a partial splenectomy and collected a total of 800 ml of blood to save their patient’s life. Is your NGO ready to provide life-saving care where it’s needed most? Connect with Sisu Global about the impact that Hemafuse can have on your humanitarian aid efforts. #ukraine #ukrainecrisis #hospital #surgery #bloodtransfusion #humanitarianaid #humanitarianefforts #ngo #medicaldevices #blood #hemafuse #sisuglobal

Why do the poor always get everything used??? Used clothes, used medical equipment, used kitchenware... Everything seems to always be secondhand. What shall we do with our old trauma equipment kit? Oh... might as well donate it. ???? Ever heard this? Does this do any good? Maybe... but it also lends the idea that the poor and those living in low-resource settings are less than. It creates an idea that they aren't deserving of the latest technology or the latest drug innovation. All because they can't afford it... If you work in the Medical Devices or Pharmaceutical industry, look around... what are you doing to appease your company's CSR efforts? Are you innovating for not only high-income but also low-income folks around the world? You may not want to face this truth... If you want to learn more about med device/pharma companies who have made it their mission to create products that are MADE to serve anyone (including those who live in poverty)...

If you've gotten that phone call from your local Red Cross to donate blood, raise your hand... ???? We're often too busy to do it, or are afraid of needles, or maybe squeamish so we opt out... But what I didn't know was just how crucial the need for blood was in all parts of the world. Globally, there is a 100 million unit deficit of donor blood. This means that when clinicians reach for a unit of blood, it is often not there. If you needed blood, but there was no blood in the hospital blood bank, what do you do? What would your surgeon do? What if I told you that there was a way to donate blood back to yourself? Our guest today, Gillian Henker, Co-Founder and President of Sisu Global Health invented Hemafuse for this exact problem. ????
