How to save the world? A global journey into making our lives better…

The availability of organ transplant is a subject of major concern today: every 30 seconds, a patient dies from diseases that could be treated with tissue replacement. In the last decade, the number of patients on the waiting list for a transplant doubled, but there has been no increase in available organs.

And these statistics do not even start to consider people who have an amputated limb. Each year, thousands of children are mutilated by landmines in countries such as Cambodia or Angola, thousands suffer amputation, a majority of which is due to vascular issues but we cannot ignore armed conflicts and road accidents as other causes.

Yet there is hope. Really amazing new technologies are arriving very quickly, as you will see in the video below. We cannot quite reproduce a whole leg overnight yet, but there exist working solutions for most of the essential organs.
