Trustees Report

For the year ended 30 April 2024

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in February 2005 and the Charities Act 2011.

Arian Teleheal is a UK registered charity which enables medics working in war zones and low resource countries to consult with expert clinicians from across the world by using everyday technology such as smart phones, instant messaging, and video chat. We provide advice in all major specialties, and, in addition to continuing all our emergency care, we have provided advice on the management of Covid-19 patients, and have also expanded our work to provide mental health support to clinicians, professionals and humanitarians.

Our volunteer specialist clinicians support local doctors in low resource countries, such as Afghanistan. We initially focused on providing support for emergency care, including major trauma, and then expanded our approach to assisting local doctors with COVID-19 patients and now we are also providing advice on mental health especially to local clinicians and those clinicians who are managing traumatic cases and traumatised displaced people.

Our work also includes advocating for the policies, strategies and narratives that promote the human rights, physical and emotional wellbeing of refugees and other vulnerable migrants, publicly and amongst policy makers and donor organisations.

How Do We Work?

Medics in low resource settings who want advice from specialists contact our case management team 24/7 by instant messaging or video chat. Their patient’s case is then allocated to an appropriate specialist (or specialists), who will review it and then discuss it or reply by instant messaging or video chat. The local medic then considers the advice to help them treat their patient. Arian Teleheal provides advice for emergency cases mostly in a few hours, helping save countless lives each year. We advise in both emergency situations, and on complex cases of any kind, where specialist advice could help a clinician in low resource setting. Our doctors use everyday technology such as smartphones rather than expensive telemedicine equipment because of the areas in which the local doctors are based, and to maximise the availability of our volunteer doctors.

We support the mental wellbeing of clinicians in low resource countries and of those clinicians and professionals who are exposed to traumatic experiences, such as managing refugee patients, through our virtual seminars led by our mental health specialists.

We have provided mental health support to displaced people in the UK in partnership with local authorities and community organisations.

Our work also includes advocating for the policies, strategies and narratives that promote human rights, physical and emotional wellbeing of people caught in conflict and in low resource settings as well as of forcibly displaced people. We do this publicly through media, social media, public conferences and events. To impact policies for these groups of vulnerable populations, we work collaboratively with international humanitarian organisations, such as the UN Refugee Agency and World Health Organisation, to advocate for better policies, partnerships and more resources.

What Impact Have We Made?

The volunteer doctors of Arian Teleheal have already saved the lives of many war-stricken men, women, and children, and continue to do so on a daily basis. A pilot of our work across five hospitals with Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units in Kabul, Afghanistan, was surveyed in 20152016, and concluded that “dozens of lives were saved” and that local medics found our work “hugely supportive and educational”. The success of this pilot saw our service rolled out to all major Emergency and Intensive Care Departments in Afghanistan between 2016-2019, serving a country of 35 million people. Arian Teleheal began supporting the Independent Doctors’ Association (IDA) in Syria in 2017, providing help to Syrian medics who cared for local and forcibly displaced people in Aleppo.

During the pandemic, we responded to COVID-19 by expanding our advice to include up-to-date management advice for patients, educational seminars as well as providing mental health support and awareness sessions.

The support we have been providing consists of the following layers:

  1. Providing WHO and other scientific guidelines on continuous basis

  2. Providing specialist advice on 24/7 basis for any questions from doctors, including, case management of severe cases in emergency and intensive care units

  3. Providing regular training for emergency, intensive care and Covid-19 cases

  4. Providing mental health support and awareness to clinicians and professionals

The impact of our advocacy and policy work in support of people caught in conflict and displacement is reflected in the wide-ranging media interviews given by our CEO Dr Arian and through his social media content that has reached millions of people as well as his participation in national and international conferences and High-Level Meetings attended by policy makers, governments and nonprofits from across the world. For example, Dr Arian was Master of Ceremonies at the Global Refugee Forum hosted by the UN in Geneva in 2023, helping to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for the mental health and psycho-social support of refugees.

Our CEO Dr Arian and our mental health experts have also provided mental health support to refugees in the UK in collaboration with local authorities and community organisations.

Research presentation and publication

Our work has been presented at numerous local, regional, national and international conferences and meetings, mainly as keynote speeches by our CEO, Dr Arian.

Collaboration and advisory

We collaborate with a range of carefully chosen partners in multi-agency projects, using our expertise and learning to help improve healthcare across the world, especially through innovative use of readily available technology. This includes acting as an advisory consultancy to governments and international organisations in digital health, governance, inclusion and providing advice on how to establish, launch and scale-up systems, especially as applied to emergency care and mental health to build the resilience and capacity of local healthcare systems and make them more inclusive of refugees and other vulnerable migrants.

This year, besides working with UN Refugee Agency and WHO, we have also collaborated with Red Cross and Choose Love to support people in low resource settings and refugees.
