Bandage International was formed in September 2005 by a group of paramedics and emergency care nurses and doctors in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The mission of the group is to improve the skills of emergency medical care personnel in developing countries, including hospital caregivers (e.g. nurses and doctors), and pre-hospital responders (laypersons, paramedics, disaster response personnel and others).

Bandage International conducts training for groups of caregivers, tailoring the topics of discussion to the needs of the group. Our strategy is to improve care of patients by improving the skills of their caregivers.

More than just giving care that lasts for only a few days, Bandage International teaches the caregiver...teaching that will last a lifetime.

Upcoming Projects:   

Bandage International members just returned from Belize Central America Dec 12, 2011.  During this latest mission members trained over 100 participants from a variety of backgrounds and communities.  Bandage International  would like to thank the Belize Red Cross, Costa Maya Reef Resort and Victoria House resort for their assistance during our time in Belize and making this possible. 

Bandage International would also like to thank all our donors here in Canada for making another mission possible by your continious support of our projects!

Our 2012 missions are already being delevoped and will be posted as soon as information and details are confirmed.
