ICAN, The East Meets West Foudation, and Project Vietnam of the American Academy of Pediatrics have formed a partnership to save the lives of the very smallest babies. We will provide hospitals with this life-saving device, which is designed by an American engineer and manufactured in Vietnam. The CPAP unit gives premature babies with respiratory distress gentle breaths of air - just enough to inflate their lungs for a few days until they can breath on their own. Our goal is to install hundreds of new CPAP machines in hospitals all over Vietnam. A CPAP machine made by our partner in Vietnam cost only $2800 - less than one-fifth the cost of one imported from the U.S.
Can you help? Your donation will bring a baby the gentle breath of life. Call 408-509-8788 to find out more or to donate.
