This website is a digital version of a new book by Nina Tjomsland and Ken Morallee with graphic design by Bernt-Erik Rossavik about Laerdal’s 2030 goal to help save one million more lives. Every year. By 2030.
This goal is very ambitious with the world facing severe challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and its repercussions, which are likely to accelerate the development towards a much more digital future. It can only be achieved through close collaborations – Laerdal’s aim is to help its partners be more efficient in their efforts to train and equip lifesavers.
