ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The 'Stop the Bleed' campaign was initiated by a federal interagency workgroup convened by the National Security  Council Staff, The White House. The purpose of the campaign is to build national resilience by better preparing the  public to save lives by raising awareness of basic actions to stop life threatening bleeding following everyday  emergencies and man-made and natural disasters. Advances made by military medicine and research in haemorrhage  control during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have informed the work of this initiative which exemplifies translation of  knowledge back to the homeland to the benefit of the general public.
