The innovation is recognized around the world and has saved 550,000 babies in more than 500 hospitals across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Benin. In order to facilitate infant recovery, hospitals, health centers, and first-time mothers purchase or rent cribs. COVID-19 caused a high demand for cribs, as parents wanted to avoid hospitals while caring for their newborns.
