What is the situation?

Millions of people in the world die of surgically treatable conditions. Acute and emergency care has been hugely under-prioritized and under-resourced in Tanzania and other low-income countries. Safe Anaesthesia is required to perform surgery, but there is a huge lack of Anaesthesiologists. In Tanzania there are only 22 on a population of 49 millions. Life Support Foundation is the organization that has Anesthesia and Intensive care as its focus.

What treatment is needed?

Fluids, oxygen, blood transfusions, glucose. Basic medical care for sick patients can be
summarised in the classic “ABC” of Airway, Breathing, Circulation. If good quality
ABC care was available all over the world, hundreds of thousands of lives would be saved.
All funds will go directly to facilitate the training courses, staff exchanges and
other initiatives.
