Our Story

Medical Open World was born in response to an urgent need: to prevent the deaths of 1.5 million babies each year from preventable causes.

In 2014, Alejandro Escario, then an engineering student in Madrid, designed an accessible neonatal incubator as his final degree project. His invention—created specifically for low-resource countries—later received international recognition, including an award from MIT. He released the design as open-source technology, so it could be freely replicated and adapted worldwide.

In 2017, Pablo Sánchez Bergasa joined the project, bringing a renewed vision and strong social commitment. In 2019, Pablo founded the organization Medicina Abierta al Mundo (now Medical Open World) to scale up the production and distribution of the IncuNest incubator (formerly known as In3ator).

Thanks to partnerships with the Salesians, Ayuda Contenedores and more than 70 NGOs, we have delivered more than 300 incubators to 37 countries and saved at least 5,000 lives.

Today, we are a growing organization with a dedicated professional team and a clear vision: No premature baby should die for lack of an incubator. We embrace the challenge of expanding the reach of our accessible incubators and multiplying their impact—to help end a preventable tragedy.
