Based on JAGRE’s mission, we work on three different areas of activities, namely capacity development of healthcare professionals, raising awareness on road safety among drivers and citizens, and system development.
Currently, we actively work for the reduction of traffic accident casualties in Lao P.D.R., but in the future we aim to expand our experience and technology developed in Lao P.D.R. to other neighboring ASEAN countries as well as developing countries in other regions.
Our Activities
Our Activities
Most of rescue crews in Vientiane Capital are volunteers. They have other jobs or go to schools in the day time. In addition, hospital staff and equipment are always scarce. We provide training for improvement of first-aid and support developing guidelines for healthcare workers.
Many rescue teams are operating in Vientiane Capital, but there is no command headquarters managing them. When an ambulance arrives at an accident site from far, they find another ambulance and team rescuing the injured person. We develop and provide the system to solve such problem and provide quality EMS to the public.
There are laws to regulate speeding and drunk-driving and wearing a motorcycle helmet and seat belt are mandatory in Lao P.D.R. However, the laws are often violated. Targeting drivers and the general public, we organize seminars to teach about traffic rules and raise awareness about road safety to prevent traffic accidents.
