The quest to ensure that ill and pre-mature babies do not die as a result of the lack of hospital incubators has been given a big boost following the latest innovation by two Ghanaian midwives.

Margaret Aku and Benedicta Opoku, at the St. Mary's Anglican Clinic at Apinkra in the Ashanti Region in their bid to improve healthcare delivery, have designed an incubator.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the YouTube page of Naana Donkor Arthur-NDA, Margaret Aku revealed that the idea behind what they described as an "improvised incubator" came about due to frequent power outages in the community where they work.

The medical equipment which is made with a mosquito net and wood, has a headlight that provides warmth for the premature baby.

The light can also be regulated to give off the required warmth the newborn might need at any point in time.

On her part, Benedicta Opoku also revealed that the innovation aims to help newborns, and hence they are open to receiving support from well-meaning Ghanaians and even experts who will help them improve upon it.

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in 1,700 views.
