A shared goal
Helping save one million more lives, every year, by 2030
The key word is “helping”.
We would never claim we are saving lives. Our role is to create educational and therapy solutions and services that empower those who save lives - lay people, ambulance dispatchers, community first responders, and healthcare professionals in ambulances and hospitals.
Success depends on collaboration with professional associations, NGOs, and government bodies to develop and implement essential programs and actions on a broad scale.
Our focus
Our focus is the 30 million preventable deaths that occur every year from unexpected cardiac arrest, trauma, at birth, sepsis, and stroke – and to help reduce preventable deaths in hospitals from medical errors.
More than 75 % of these deaths occur in low-resource settings.
Our approach
We believe the biggest opportunities to save lives in these categories are by helping to improve the coverage, quality, efficiency, safety, and equity of healthcare through:
- Early interventions with high lifesaving potential
- Leveraging enabling technologies
- Collaborative initiatives for development and scale-up
50 million life-years
With our partners we are developing and implementing programs that can have a sustainable and long-term impact. We do not just focus on the numbers of lives saved but - just as important– the quality of those lives, equating to 50 million more quality life years saved every year by 2030.
Partnering for impact
From the beginning, Laerdal has worked with partners in professional associations, NGOs, researchers, industry, and government bodies to help them save more lives.
We are privileged to work with more than 70 global and local partners towards our shared goal of helping one million more lives, every year, by 2030. It takes a system to save a life. Only by working together, we can achieve an impact at scale that can be sustained over time.
