Mexico
Between 2004 and 2006, research was undertaken with Population Council in rural areas of Puebla and Oaxaxa in Mexico to determine whether the LifeWrap (or “TAN” – Traje anti-shocque no pnumatico) would be considered to be an acceptable first-aid device by staff in primary health care centers. This research identified methodological and practical ways to ensure that the LifeWrap is accepted into rural health care systems.
