From 2004 to 2016, under-five mortality has decreased in Tanzania, but there has been no change in neonatal mortality. Hypothermia due to prematurity and low birth weight, birth asphyxia and neonatal infections account for 40% of neonatal deaths in the country. Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce, causing low body temperature incompatible with life. About 57% of neonates in the entire East African region are hypothermic.
Many factors contribute to this challenge, including:
Environmental factors such as the temperature in newborn try care areas and remoteness of health facilities
Social factors such as low level of health education among members of the society
Financial factors. There are no sufficient funds to buy medical tools and equipment for health facilities.
Current State Stakeholder System
In Tanzania, the main stakeholders are the government and the non-government sector that include non-government organizations and the private health sector. The Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDEC) is responsible for policy-making. In contrast, the President's Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG) implements such policies. All the money for health-related activities from the Ministry of Finance and Planning is deposited directly to the public health facilities bank accounts. The money sent depends on the budget that is previously set by health facility governing committees. The committee decides on how to spend the money, including the decision to obtain essential health equipment. Non-government health facilities decide independently depending on their revenues and on the number of patients they attend. Local organizations such as CCBRT support other health facilities to provide better care to prevent disabilities. International organizations such as UNICEF provide support in knowing the pressing issues. Public and private research institutions support in giving scientific evidence on what is working.

we have tested our product to users and until now we save more than 2000 p neonate which could ever being died due to hypothermia and birth asphyxia
also, we recognized by WHO as the strong allies for the improving primary health care facility through creativity and innovation
to get more ideas and skills which i can invest in the organization goal
urrently, we are the only four people to take-off the startup. We have gaps that must be filled as soon as possible as observed in the organogram. We will immediately look for manufacturing expert, supply chain expert and accounting personnel and later have marketing and sales managers. Depending on the cost of running the startup, we could take them on as partners.

SDG Targets & Indicators
We are addressing SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
Target: End all preventable deaths under five years of age.
Indicators:
- 3.2.1: Under-5 mortality rate (number of children per 1,000 live births who die before their 5th birthday)
- 3.2.2: Neonatal mortality rate (Number of newborns per 1,000 live births in a given year who die before reaching 28 days of age

INCUBATOR.
Every year about 1 million infant in the developing word die due to prematurity
complications. Premature infants are born before the organs mature enough to
allow normal postnatal survival as such the premature infants are at risk to develop
hypoxia, hypothermia and many other associated adverse conditions. These infants
need special care and attention. One of the major problems that newborns face is
improper thermalregulation.The temperature inside inside the mother wombis
380c leaving the warmth of the womb at birth, the wet new born finds itself in a
much colder environment and immediately starting losing heat. In the first10-20
minutes, the new born who is note thermal protected may lose enough heat for the
body temperature to fall by 2-40c with even greeter fall in the following hours if the
proper care is given.If heat loss is not prevented and is allowed to continue, the
baby will develop hypothermia and is at increased risk of developing health
problem and that of death.Therefore,an infant incubator is necessary which
attempt to create necessary environment for baby’s survival. The available neonatal
incubators mostly imported in developing countries are complicated, and expensive
particularly for least developed countries. For example in Tanzania the imported
incubators cost 9 times more than the Tanzania made under the present invention.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, automatic, suitable and
affordable neonatal incubator.
ANGLE MARK device for obtaining optimal head-tilt in c-supine position for
resuscitation in neonates (angle mark), comprising of wood, sponge and
leather plastic. The wooden material forms the frame work of the device
and at the position where the head lies; it is formed at an angle af
between 1440 and 1500. This angle is very important as it assist in
maneuvering during the resuscitation process.The sponge and leather
material cover the frame work and provides comfort to the neonate
during the resuscitation process. The infant is covered with dry clothes
and nylon and cotton material cap in its head in order to prevent heat
losses during the resuscitation process. This device helps in reducing
tongue retraction during resuscitation procedure and mild glossopteris in
newborns. This discovery is a solution to the global challenge of birth
asphyxia, which causes approximately 717,000 newborn deaths each
year, or 23
percent of
the global
burden of
neonatal
deaths.

Direct beneficiaries are premature newborns, newborns with hypothermia, and newborns with birth asphyxia in settings where there is no modern equipment to support new lives. Literature informs that more than 50% of newborns in the East African regions suffer from hypothermia and many are born asphyxiated, causing cerebral palsy which hinders their normal daily functions. In turn, it causes psychological, economic and social distress in their families.
Tanzania has about 8083 health facilities, 96.5% being primary healthcare facilities. Almost all primary health facilities have no tools to provide proper care for the newborns with hypothermia. Therefore, these facilities will be benefiting through improving the quality of health services with an eventual reduction of mortality and morbidity in neonates.
The situation is similar to most countries in the sub-Saharan Africa region.
