DUSHANBE, May 31, 2016, Asia-Plus — The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of Tajikistan will conduct a joint three-day emergency room trauma course for emergency medical doctors.
The course will take place from June 1 to June 3 in the northern city of Khujand. Twenty medical practitioners from the different ministries and agencies will participate in the course.
The ICRC Mission in Tajikistan says the course is based on internationally recognized principles of standard diagnostics and therapeutic procedures on patient’s admission to the emergency room in order to reduce the level of morbidity and mortality due to injuries.
The program is aimed to increase and strengthen the doctors’ theoretical and practical knowledge on rapid and accurate evaluation the patient’s condition; resuscitation and stabilization approach of the patient”s condition based on prioritization; taking decisions on appropriate level of the health facility in order to meet the patient needs; medical sorting of injured upon admission to the hospital.
During March and April, similar courses were conducted in Kulob and Qurghon Teppa cities. Until now, 128 doctors from all around Tajikistan have improved their ability to provide emergency trauma care, through the courses implemented by the ICRC since 2014. In order to reduce the external support, the possible local trainers were identified among the participants during the implementation of the course program.
Conducting of this training has reportedly become possible due to proactive organizational support of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection.
