Dr Shayanti is seeking urgent donations to raise money for her research. If she raises 30% of the funding then the government with donate the rest. That 30% however is around $600k for vital equipment and to push the clinical trials so we can have this amazing technology change women's lives in the next 5 years rather than delaying it 5 years.
