About Saving Lives International
Saving Lives International has evolved from humanitarian work started by Dr Peter Patel as a Rotarian Rotary Club of Birmingham in 1993. After 30 years of post-disaster recovery programmes focused on health sector, ‘Saving Lives International’ was established as an independent charity in May 2023.
The objects of Saving Lives International are for:
- The public benefit, advancement of education of health and care professionals primarily in India and Nepal, through training programmes in disaster medicine to reduce adverse health impacts from disasters and improve health outcomes.
- The advancement of health and the saving of lives through:
a. The improvement of disaster medicine disciplines which support the disaster management cycle,
b. Strengthening disaster medicine and public health preparedness and responses through our training and education programmes in low- and middle-income countries. - The relief and assistance of people in India and Nepal who are the victims of war/conflict, natural disaster, trouble, or catastrophe, in particular by supplying or assisting in the provision of medical aid, equipment and rehabilitation support in order to meet such needs.
