Israeli Invention to Help Combat Cholera Epidemic in Cameroon
(Jerusalem Post) Eliana Schreiber - Israel's NUFiltration (NUF) will provide its unique water filtration systems to thousands of people in the African country of Cameroon who currently have no access to clean water and face a cholera epidemic. With support of the Foreign Ministry, NUF will provide $15,000 worth of water treatment systems. Each system can convert eight liters of water per minute, providing the average daily water consumption for 500 people. The device uses disinfected, recycled, high-standard dialysis filters to purify water. The filters do not require electricity and have a minimum lifespan of three years. "With the use of a medical device that otherwise would have been discarded into the waste...we purify water at the best rate possible," said NUF CEO Mino Negrin.
