What is HRP?

Highway Rescue Project is the first initiative for trauma care of Accident victim on highways of India. It ensures evacuation, rescue and pre-hospital care for the accident victims on Indian Highways

In India in every 1.9 minutes one trauma related death takes place, affecting the most productive age group (20 - 40 years). Lack of medical attention has been attributed 30% of the death at the site and 70% of the remaining patient dying within an hour of injury.

Most of these deaths are due to air way problem, respiratory failure or continuing hemorrhage which can be prevented to a great extent with appropiate Pre-Hospital Emergency Care.. Considering the urgency of immediate treatment, 'The Golden Hour' and 'Platinum 10 Minutes' concepts has been developed to minimize the gap between the time of injury and initial medical attention.
