Currently, there are no affordable, fully functional incubators for low-resource and emergency settings. Historically, there has been a lack of will to invest in innovation and basic neonatal healthcare. Dr. Wisam Breegi, founder and CEO of Breegi Scientific, Inc. has been working tirelessly for years to address this issue. After fleeing Baghdad in the middle of the war with his pregnant wife, his son was born in a rural hospital with no working incubators.

This terrifying and humbling experience led Dr. Breegi to devote his career to innovation and social justice for the disadvantaged. He is the inventor of several groundbreaking medical devices such as the neonatal intensive care incubator (NICI™) a platform technology that revolutionizes a century old infant incubator design. In this episode, Dr. Breegi details his experience in the field and sheds light on the huge issues with the infant incubator used in urban hospitals today.
