Our Story
Emergency healthcare should not depend on where you live
"When emergency healthcare is over an hour away survival is
not gUarAnteed"
Rohan was just 33 years old.
He lived in Bull Savannah, in St Elizabeth, Jamaica — a community with no access to emergency stabilisation.
When he suffered a sudden cardiac event, there was no immediate medical support available.
The nearest hospital with emergency capability was over 45 minutes away. Rohan died trying to get help that was too far away.
