Curious ICDDR,B doctors got hands on the prototypes right away

Getting Valuable Feedback from Nurses and Mothers

Ale and David explained the benefits of Bubble CPAP at MATLAB

Mothers were not afraid to put AdaptAir on their noses

Nurses at LAMB Hospital immediately recognized how it was used

Finding local materials / suppliers for the straps

About 10 meters away from the front gate of LAMB Hospital we found a supplier with elastic straps
