Saving Lives by Repairing the Autoclave

Last month the hospital’s maternity department asked us to provide a new autoclave to replace one which had broken down. We treated this as an SOS as the department was carrying out about ten operations and thirty deliveries a day with unsterile instruments. We located the manufacturer of the autoclave in China, but they could not provide parts. Meanwhile I located the faulty part in Mazar and found a mechanic to fit it, so saving $1,200 for a new autoclave.

The above two pictures shows the mechanic named Mr. Bashardust repairing the autoclave in Maternity Department in Mazar Hospital.
