611 Volunteers
Responded to over 1900 incidents

WHAT WE DO
Injured patients are much more likely to survive if they receive treatment quickly. Fortunately, within the first hour after injury, simple medical treatments can be highly effective at preventing paralysis and death. This critical window is known as the “Golden Hour” and is the period of time during which TraumaLink First Responders work. LEARN MORE

Important Crash News of July 2021
These challenging times remind us how much we need each other. On 13 August, an incident took place near Madhaiya in Comilla’s Chandina Upazila, a cover van lost control from behind and hit the back of the bus. Five passengers in the back seat of the bus were injured. Two of the injured went home without any first aid. Our volunteer quickly sent 3 others to Chandina Upazila Health Complex.
We would like to thank our first responder for his undying efforts, dedication, and courage and for providing the service at the right moment.
