Good hand hygiene practices (defined by performing six steps and for 20 secs) is a non-negotiable aspect of hand hygiene. There is a recent  surge in availability of contact less dispensers in the market. However, there is a big  difference between merely performing and performing in the right manner.  In a pandemic like situation, right practices as per defined criteria are of paramount importance for not just oneself but for the family, co-workers and eventually for the entire country.

MicroGO’s Safe Delivery-Healthy child or SAVED will be an integrated solution for providing safe delivery and safe water, and ensuring sanitation for the new born babies during their formative years, upto 6 months.

MicroGO’s “Safe Delivery, Healthy Child (SAVED)” will be created using our Tubelet^TM Platform technology that is designed to deliver pure form of disinfecting agents without contaminating the exterior with any by-products.” It is an integrated solution that will not only provide hygienic environment during birth but also a carry along kit provided to the mothers that maintains hygienic conditions for the infant and the new mother for next 6 months. Based on its Tubelet^TM technology, MicroGO has also developed GOpure^TM– water disinfection solution which disinfects water without producing any disinfection byproducts like Trihalomethanes that are Class II carcinogens or without releasing any hazardous chemical waste. GOsteri^TM is yet another product by MicroGO that uses the technology for portable sterilisation and on-the-go. It requires no power, no water to sterilise the surgical instruments.

Commenting on receiving the grant, Dr.Rachna Dave, Founder of MicoGO said, “India’s infant mortality rate (IMR) fell to 33 per 1,000 live births in 2017 from 34 the year before, and is inching closer towards the sustainable development goal of bringing it down to 25 or less by 2030. Meanwhile, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) has fallen 20 points over the past decade, from 53 per 1,000 births in 2007 to 33 in 2017, according to the sample registration system. But even though the death rates are coming down, many infants are still dying of unavoidable causes like hygiene issues.
