TraumaLink, established in 2013, is a volunteer-based emergency response system aimed at reducing road traffic injuries and fatalities in Bangladesh. The system utilizes an emergency hotline and call center to dispatch local first responders trained in basic trauma first aid, who are equipped with medical supplies and mobilized through SMS messaging to crash scenes. Operating across 227 km of highways with 916 volunteers, TraumaLink has responded to thousands of emergency calls, treating over 5200 injured patients. The initiative has expanded through partnerships, received awards, and transitioned to a formal Trust structure, with the goal of creating a safer and more prosperous Bangladesh by providing post-crash response services.
