A sterile dressing, clean gloves, and simple antiseptics can prevent deadly infections in low‑resource settings.

In many parts of the world, the difference between life and death is not a complex surgery, but a simple sterile dressing. At Protectiva Health Foundation, we see how basic medical products—like clean gloves, antiseptics, and sterile needles—prevent deadly infections in low-resource settings. When a local clinic lacks these essentials, a minor injury can become a life-threatening crisis. By ensuring that even the most remote communities have access to these “simple” tools, we are protecting the fundamental right to health and dignity. Our mission starts with these basics because no one should suffer from a preventable infection.
