To improve the treatment of pneumonia – the number one cause of childhood death in sub-Saharan Africa – EPFL engineers are working with a Kenya-based NGO to develop an oxygen concentrator that can withstand the region’s weather conditions and be deployed sustainably. Their project, called Global O2, has just been awarded $1.6 million in funding over two years from Unitaid, global health agency hosted by the World Health Organisation.
