Medical Training in Wartime – Autumn 2023

The ongoing war in Ukraine creates enormous challenges, including a critical increase in the need for medical and first aid training. For example, medical evacuation teams face complex emergency scenarios requiring specific skills. In conflict zones, these teams are often composed of personnel without formal medical training, highlighting the importance of advanced simulated training. These sessions include technical skills such as CPR, diagnostic ultrasound, blood transfusion, and emergency surgical procedures.

Activities of the Resuscitation Council Training Center, supported by AMCFU, January-October 2023:

– Design and implementation of tailored training programs.

– Implementation of the National Training Project “Stop the Bleed” in collaboration with ACS Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) – stopping critical massive hemorrhages.

– Implementation of the project “Creation of disaster relief teams according to international standards (EMT Type –1 Mobile)” in cooperation with the National Institute of Emergency Surgery and Traumatology and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

– Training for the staff of 9 health care institutions on the topic “Mass incident in the hospital” (264 participants).

– Organization of training on critical patient management and advanced resuscitation measures, 50 participants.

– Training for the International Medical Corps team (groups working in the liberated territories), 90 participants. Standard trainings include BLS, PBLS, ALS, EPALS, ASM, CLS, CMC, MedEvac, ASM I, 19439 participants.

This fall, the purchase of training equipment worth €305,873.1 strengthens our commitment to supporting medical and first aid training in Ukraine.
