BETA International turns 10 tomorrow, December 13, 2022. We were honored this year to have a spacious new Biomedical Engineering Lab at Arusha Technical College, Tanzania, named for our CEO/Founder, Dan Schuster, who dedicated the lab in June. He was also honored to receive recognition by newly-formed Association of Medical Engineers and Technicians, Tanzania (AMETT) for our role in developing Biomedical Engineering profession in Tanzania.

Thanks to an Australian foundation and Rotary Club of greater Sydney for the gift of 14 Winpower oxygen concentrator analyzers for Haiti, Kenya, and Tanzania. Oxygen Concentrators are vital in Oxygen Therapy for COVID-19, pneumonia, and other respiratory illness, and technicians lack the means to calibrate their output (%O2) -- sometimes using a match (ill-advised!). These devices can also measure ventilator supplemental oxygen levels. BETA provided tax payments and cases, and is funding Oxygen Therapy training seminar at Arusha Technical College in Tanzania for East African technician recipients, as well as in Haiti.

Congratulations to BETA Scholar Sharifu Kishakali, and Dept Head for Biomedical Engineering, Ally Ngulugulu, Arusha Technical College, Tanzania for their excellent technical presentations in the WHO-CED COVID-19 Webinar on Pulse Oximeters (emphasis on silent hypoxia detection/triage, and isolation hypoxia-monitoring). 60+ countries watching - Clinical Engineers and Clinicians.

BETA-sponsored Calibration and Improvisational Design Seminar trainees visit Radiology facilities at Arusha Lutheran Medical Center, for X-Ray machine calibration with Keithley TRIAD tools donated by BETA.

First time ever: BETA had Biomed training seminars simultaneously at Arusha Technical College, Tanzania, and Partners-In-Health Hopital Universitaire de Mirebalais (HUM), Haiti. Three outstanding Haitian "super-techs" conducted the HUM training (bottom photos) while we were training at Arusha Tech (top photo).
