Interventions in crisis areas: RSOM and Doctors Without Borders

06/07/15

A training activity was started this week at the "V. Babini" barracks in Bellinzago Novarese, involving personnel from the Transit Area Management Regiment, young doctors from the University of Eastern Piedmont and Doctors Without Borders Italy.

The activity aims to develop a common training course that allows young doctors to implement intervention skills in operational situations and in crisis areas where they will then be called to operate, and at the same time it is an excellent opportunity for regiment staff to work closely with high profile professionals within the "red zone" of the field health complex, deployed for the activity.

The initiative is part of a broader project of collaboration between the regiment and the emergency medicine and disaster department (CREDIM) of the Piedmontese university, authentic excellence in the field, which has lasted for two years now and, in addition to represent an unmissable opportunity for professional enrichment for military personnel and a further demonstration of the dual use capabilities of the Armed Forces.
