Where We Show Up With DripDrop and Save Lives
When IV therapy isn't an option, dehydration can be life-threatening. At the edge of a wildfire, in a remote village, after a hurricane destroys local medical facilities—that's where we show up with DripDrop and save lives.
2010/ The first formulation of DripDrop is used by first responders, including inventor Dr. Dolhun, to treat life-threatening dehydration in Haiti during a relief mission.
Pakistan
2010
Pakistan
Pakistan experienced a heavy monsoon season that covered a fifth of the country in floodwater, killing nearly 2,000 people and severely decreasing access to potable water. Diarrheal illnesses that lead to dehydration spread quickly, especially among young children.
Dr. Dolhun and a small team of volunteers traveled to Pakistan to administer DripDrop to severely dehydrated children and infants. They taught distraught parents how to use ORS to treat their own children, equipping them with a life-saving tool.
Haiti
2010
Haiti
A magnitude 7.0 earthquake left the community of Haiti in despair. Over 3 million people were affected, leaving the already poor country without power and exposed to dehydration risk due to high temperatures and lack of access to water.
Three days after the earthquake, Dr. Dolhun was one of the first responders to arrive in Haiti. He equipped other first responders providing aid with the first formulation of DripDrop and instructed them on how to diagnose and treat dehydration using this life-saving solution.
