Saving lives in emergencies

Civil Protection medical teams are often first on the scene at accidents, rescue operations, or other unforeseen emergencies, and disasters. Eucap Sahel Mali, with the Faculty of Medicine, delivered a 2nd training to strengthen lifesaving response and community support.

 

"Who is first on the scene during accidents, fires, rescue operations, or other unforeseen emergencies? It is the medical teams of Civil Protection, who provide life-saving first aid in countless daily interventions."
