Mine Trauma Care and On Site Emergency Medical Response

Strengthens the on site clinical response to serious injuries at African mines, where distance from hospitals means the first hour of care often decides the outcome. Participants build practical trauma care skills for crush, fall, burn and blast injuries and learn to manage casualties in confined and underground environments. The programme complements rescue teams and mine clinics with frontline life saving capability.
