In this new episode of our series about the 15 inspiring finalists of the Social Innovation Tournament 2020learn how Corax, an Italian invention, offers poor countries emergency healthcare for burn victims.

Three Italian engineers have created a low-cost incubator that can turn a hospital bed into a burn unit. The incubator provides a sterile environment and climate control, the essential elements in helping burn victims survive. There are about 11 million injuries and more than 200 000 deaths each year from burns, and more than 95% of these accidents happen in low- and middle-income countries with children the most frequent victims. The injuries usually happen when people fall into a cooking fire or are scalded by hot liquid.
