Dr. Fe del Mundo was a great at many things. A pioneering pediatrician in the Philippines in 1941, she helped families in rural communities without electricity by designing the bamboo incubator! 👼🏻👩🏻‍⚕️🌍⁣

Being the first ever woman to attend Harvard Medical School, this Filipino doctor devised a makeshift incubator that utilized two wicker laundry baskets of varying sizes. She put hot water bottles in the space between the baskets to regulate the temperature of the infants then added a hood and oxygen. ⁣
⁣
It was reported that it was del Mundo’s objective of making inventions that are inexpensive and can be reproduced by people who have limited access to medical centers.⁣
⁣
Years after, she established the Philippines’ first pediatric hospital known as The Children’s Medical Center in Quezon City, Philippines. It was funded by almost everything del Mundo owned. With such dedication of expanding the hospital, del Mundo decided to reside instead at the hospital itself, on a living quarter on the second floor. She lived and served there until her death.⁣

She will forever be an inspiration to each and every Sustainability Champion who serves with a heart! ❤️⁣
