Help us prepare medics for when the worst happens
Crises like the war in Ukraine stretch medics to their limit. DONATE to our £1 appeal and help us, help them.
We train medics across the world in vital trauma management care
Our training saves lives and relieves the suffering of those affected by war, violence, natural disaster and healthcare poverty. We aim to improve self-reliance in the countries in which we work.
“Every injured individual should have access to – and has a right to – adequate, timely and effective trauma care that is life or limb saving.”
Dr Lin Aung, World Health Organisation Representative to Nepal.
