The Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine (STCU), in partnership with the National Agency for Public Health of the Republic of Moldova and the National Center for Pre-hospital Emergency Medical Assistance of the Republic of Moldova, is delighted to announce the successful conclusion of the National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training. This training, held from November 8 to November 10, 2023, in Chisinau, Moldova, was made possible through the generous support of the European Commission's Foreign Policy Instrument, underscoring their dedication to bolstering preparedness and response capabilities in the region.
The National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training was a comprehensive initiative designed to equip key personnel with the essential skills and knowledge required to respond effectively to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) emergencies. This intensive training program was tailored to several key target groups:
First Line CBRN Emergency Medicine Responders: This segment focused on the pre-hospital management of CBRN Emergency Medical Preparedness and Response Operations. First responders acquired vital techniques and protocols for initial assessment, triage, decontamination, and patient stabilization during CBRN incidents.
Second-Line CBRN Emergency Medicine Responders: For second-line responders, the emphasis was on hospital management of CBRN Emergency Medical Preparedness and Response Operations. This training bolstered the capabilities of healthcare professionals working in hospital settings, enabling them to handle CBRN-related medical emergencies effectively. This included patient care, decontamination procedures, and coordination with first responders.
Managers at These Same Institutions: Managers responsible for overseeing CBRN emergency preparedness and response operations were provided with training to enhance their skills in strategic planning, resource allocation, coordination, and decision-making during CBRN incidents.
Para-medical Personnel: This segment offered specialized training to para-medical personnel, including emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Participants honed their skills in providing immediate care and support to individuals affected by CBRN incidents in pre-hospital settings.
Medical Personnel: Medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, and specialists, received advanced training to deepen their understanding of CBRN emergency medicine. They gained insights into advanced techniques for diagnosis, treatment, and patient management in CBRN-related scenarios.
The National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training was specifically tailored to address the unique requirements of each target group. It aimed to establish a robust and well-coordinated response system in Moldova, enhancing participants' practical knowledge through hands-on exercises and real-life scenario-based simulations.
This immersive and interactive training experience facilitated knowledge exchange, networking opportunities, and collaboration among CBRN emergency medicine professionals. It equipped participants with the skills and expertise required to respond effectively to CBRN emergencies, ensuring the safety and well-being of the Moldovan population.
