Profile
Mrs. Zeina Kassem is a social activist, the founder and president of “Roads For Life” NGO since June 2011. She graduated from the American University of Beirut with a political science diploma. Mrs. Kassem lost her 17-year old son Talal after he was run over by a raging driver on his way to school four years ago, yet despite her huge loss, she decided to make a difference and start the Talal Kassem foundation to “promote road safety and provide road and any accident victims the optimal support for post-trauma care”.

Roads For Life and Mrs. Kassem, along with governmental entities, achieved the ratification of the new traffic law in 2012. She has been a pioneer by making sure that prehospital providers, nurses and physicians, have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide top-quality trauma care in the critical moments following injury. Through “Roads For Life”, she brought to Lebanon the ATCN (Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses) and PHTLS (Pre-hospital Trauma Life Support) programs. All these programs are financed by Roads For Life.

Roads For Life, is currently working on improving post trauma culture, locally and regionally, by implementing the post trauma data system in Lebanon in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health.

Mrs. Zeina Kassem and Roads For Life are proud members of the Global Alliance of NGOs for road safety.
