Aiutare a salvare vite
Nessuno dovrebbe morire o acquisire degli handicap durante la nascita o a causa di malattia o trauma improvvisi.
Aiutare a salvare 1.000.000 di vite in più ogni anno entro il 2030.
Crediamo che lavorare con i partner sia il modo migliore per conseguire la nostra missione.
Sin dall'inizio, Laerdal ha lavorato con medici, infermieri, educatori, ricercatori e organizzazioni leader del settore. Queste relazioni sono basate sul mutuo rispetto e su valori condivisi, ma la chiave per il successo a lungo termine è stata la natura complementare delle nostre missioni.
Laerdal ha influenzato la continua ricerca e l'implementazione delle pratiche che supportano i nostri principi di ricerca principali, inclusa la formula Utstein per la sopravvivenza, la catena del soccorso e il cerchio di apprendimento.
Utilizziamo la conoscenza basata sui fatti per sviluppare e affinare continuamente i nostri prodotti e soluzioni di servizio. Riteniamo di poter avere un grande impatto nell'aiutare a salvare vite con le nostre attività di miglioramento dell'efficenza formativa e di implementazione locale.
Laerdal Global Health (LGH) is a not-for-profit company dedicated to helping saves lives of mothers and newborns in low-income countries. Through partnerships with global health and professional organizations, LGH develops high impact, low-cost training solutions.
The Laerdal Foundation was established to support research of best practices and practical implementations in acute medicine. To date, the foundation has supported 1 800 international research projects with more than 40 million dollars in funding.
Laerdal was established as a children's book publishing and toy company in 1940 with the mission of "creating children's joy."
During the next years, 100 million of Laerdal's Tomte cars were sold in 100 countries. Laerdal's Anne dolls became popular throughout Europe.
Laerdal's pioneering work with soft plastics would later be used to produce the first manikin used for resuscitation training, changing the course of the company.
Our founder, Åsmund S. Lærdal believed success was a result of the values he identified as the foundation of his business:
• The ability to listen
• Endless curiosity
• Practical problem solving
• Respect for the customer
• Hard work
• A passion for continuous improvement.
These values remain today.
The need for a lifelike manikin to train the new concept of mouth-to-mouth ventilation led Åsmund S. Lærdal, together with Dr. Bjørn Lind and Dr. Peter Safar, to develop Resusci Anne in 1960.
Today, more than 300 million people have been trained in CPR – most of them using Resusci Anne. It is estimated that at least 2 million lives have been saved . . . and counting.
Laerdal is dedicated to our mission of Helping Save Lives through the advancement of resuscitation, patient care, and global health initiatives. Laerdal products and programs are used by voluntary organizations, educational institutions, EMS agencies, hospitals, and the military around the world.
Since 1949, Laerdal’s headquarters have been located in Stavanger, Norway. Today, Laerdal is an international company with more than 1400 employees worldwide with 400 employees working at the head office in Norway.
For more than 75 years, the Lærdal family has been committed to the long term development of the company. This has allowed Laerdal to stay true to its vision and mission, now and into the future.
