In the Beginning
The Kids Save Lives initiative started in 2015 as a joint statement launched across Europe by major resuscitation and patient safety organizations, and it was officially endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) later in 2015. The founding members of teh group were the European Resuscitation Council (ERC), the European Patient Safety Foundation (EuPSF), the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA).
