Taiwan Development Association For Disaster Medical Teams

Taiwan Development Association For Disaster Medical Teams is a foreign-owned, non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov that specializes in emergency medical training and disaster response readiness programs. The organization focuses on enhancing community-based trauma care systems and emergency medical preparedness, primarily in Taiwan. While specific details about the organization's full mission are not provided, its federal grant award history demonstrates a clear commitment to improving first responder capabilities and public emergency response skills through targeted training initiatives.

The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, with a specific focus on emergency medical training programs. These grants, totaling approximately $218,041, have supported several key initiatives including the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Training of Trainers (TOT) program, which educates experienced medical first responders on high-threat operation responses, and the "Hands of Kindness - First Responders" program that provides essential first aid skills training to the general public and advanced training for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and firefighters. The most recent grant, awarded in September 2025, aims to address gaps in Taiwan's community-based trauma care systems with a performance period from September 2025 to September 2027, continuing the organization's strategic approach to improving emergency medical preparedness and response capabilities in Taiwan.
