Training

Knowledge Transfer is the cornerstone of the organization, and the surgical missions are the vessels through which our organization fulfills this critical component. Counterpart pairing is the way the organization ensures collaboration and the transfer of knowledge between our volunteers and the local medical professionals.

Equipment and Medication Donation Program

Besides providing surgical care and providing education and training, Saving Lives Initiatives routinely donates medical equipment to partner medical facilities in Sierra Leone. For each piece of equipment donated, Saving Lives Initiatives provides the necessary technical assistance (clinical engineering support) to train local hospital staff to operate and maintain the equipment.
