From the Executive Director
Keith Martin MD
Dear Friends,
As we know, the UN General Assembly begins on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Global health will feature prominently in the discussions in New York. You have an opportunity to affect these deliberations by articulating your views through traditional and social media as to what the UN and its bodies should focus on to improve the health and well-being of the global community. I encourage you to blog, tweet, write Op-Eds, and share with the public and the leaders meeting at the UN how we can tackle the global health challenges we face. Together, we can make a big difference.
Sincerely,
Keith Martin
Executive Director

Rice University
As part of a Saving Lives at Birth seed grant, our team of engineers and pediatricians at Rice University, the University of Malawi, Baylor College of Medicine, and 3rd Stone Design designed a low-cost bubble CPAP system to improve care for premature babies with breathing difficulties.

In partnership Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) and the Ministry of Health, we are now working to implement bCPAP country-wide in Malawi and to document the effectiveness of bCPAP therapy in reducing neonatal mortality in Malawi.
We seek a dedicated Program Associate to assist in the roll out and evaluation of bCPAP in Malawi. The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, and at least 1-2 years of work experience in global health, preferably in a developing country.
