OUR PAST PROJECTS

We at Sadanah know that to collaborate is to be at the heart of the future.

We partner with committed communities to empower locally and inspire globally.

 

Our partnership with the Sadanah Trauma & Surgical Initiative and Incision aims to build sustainable access to surgical care through education and research in low resource settings.

Bolivian Trauma Initiative

An estimated 4.8 to 5.8 million global deaths are attributable annually to injuries, with 90% occurring in low- and middle-income countries like Bolivia. Effective trauma systems lead to improved patient survival, with up to a 20% decrease in mortality and improved functional outcomes.

Our research in India is based in the rural community of Nanakpur, Haryana.

​

With the help of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) and Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research (PGIMER,) we at Sadanah are training first responders, advocating for Nanakpurs community health workers, and collaborating with the local government in Haryana to improve access to trauma and surgical care.

Empowering the Community

Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death in the United States for people between the ages of 1 and 44 years. First aid from bystanders has been shown to save lives.

He was right here, this is where he was laying. My father told me at 1:15, I will never forget, and the hurt in his voice, he said,

"son, somebody killed your son".
