Active Bleeding Control

Many people in Africa get hurt in road traffic accidents, and this can cause a lot of bleeding. If it takes a long time to get to a hospital, knowing how to stop the bleeding can save lives. Our team is teaching people how to help stop bleeding in an emergency. You will learn 5 steps to stop bleeding and how to use bandages and a tourniquet. Our research group is made up of partners from the original Active Bleeding control team in India and the U.S.A.

Volunteers from Africa Fire Mission (AFM) and Pediatric ICU doctors from the U.S.A., and ICU and emergency doctors from Kenyatta National Hospital and University of Nairobi are working hard to bring quality training to Africa.

NEEDS Assessment

AFM is excited to begin our trainings on Active Bleeding Control in Kenya! To help us get started, please take a moment to submit this needs assessment on bleeding control, training, and related topics. This will ensure a successful launch of this life-saving program across Africa.
