Devex: Giving oxygen to the fight against pneumonia
“…The [public-private partnership] — known as the United for Oxygen Alliance — is the first consortium working on pneumonia, and has 15 members in total, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the United Nations, Path, Philips, the Pneumonia Innovations Team, Save the Children, UNICEF, and U.S. Agency for International Development. Masimo, a U.S.-based medical technology firm, is one of the alliance’s co-founders and technical partners, and will be supplying its pulse oximetry technology … Devex spoke to Masimo’s founder and CEO, Joe Kiani, on the eve of World Pneumonia Day on Nov. 12 to find out more about his company’s technology and the alliance…” (Edwards, 11/11).
