Project MedKit is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization that aims to supply schools in rural India with an inclusive emergency medical kit and a short course on emergency response to staff and students in order to promote preparedness in times of medical emergencies.
The organization is founded and currently run individually. We are currently raising funds to complete our third project.
Project MedKit aims to increase preparation in densely populated low-income communities in the face of emergencies through teaching and distribution of prehospital medical equipment.
The first minutes after an accident are critical and essential to provide the right care to prevent escalation. Speeding up emergency response can prevent deaths and accelerate recovery dramatically.
This is notably true for heart failure, drowning, traumas and respiratory issues. By increasing pre hospital emergency preparedness, bystanders can promptly address the situation and help the patient.
This is especially evident in rural areas where the response time for ambulances is, on average, greater.
