Tragically, half of those who die have treatable injuries. SaveLIFE Foundation improves road safety and emergency care in India, leading to sustained, measurable improvements in infrastructure design, enforcement frameworks, and access to quality care. SaveLIFE reduces the number and severity of road traffic injuries and deaths by combining data analysis, demonstration implementation, and policy advocacy to strategically align stakeholders across India’s public, private, and social sectors.
