DRAMATIC DISASTERS, DRAMATIC SOLUTIONS: Recovery From Chile Quake May Take a Page From Haiti
Some might look at last week’s shocking earthquake in Chile, occurring so soon after the equally unmerciful quake in Haiti, as some kind of angry sign from a higher power.
But individuals like John Sabia, CFO of Medical Infusion Technologies (MIT), look at it as an opportunity for human beings to shine. In addition to being MIT’s CFO, John is also the project director for the company’s remarkable new innovation, ProVector, that stands to save thousands of lives in Haiti’s crippling aftermath.
With their infrastructure so badly damaged, one of the prevailing threats to Haitians is a rise in infectious disease as a result of a number of factors—not the least of which is a spike in its already relatively high rate of malaria and dengue fever spread by mosquitoes.
MIT’s ProVector biopesticide, however, could be a savior for its creative ability to attract and kill adult mosquitoes. The beauty of the invention is its application in the form of a plastic flower that—unlike nets placed over sleeping quarters—can protect an entire family inside a dwelling unit 24 hours a day, without introducing the agent into the environment.
Last month, MIT sent 1,500 ProVectors to Haiti and hundreds more to the villages in the Dominican Republican near the Haitian Border. Now, as the world lends a hand to Chile, tracking the success of ProVector in the Caribbean takes on even greater importance.
For more information about the technology, its invaluable uses in the world today and other advances in the works at MIT, call Special Guests to schedule an interview with John Sabia today.
