On March 11th and 12th, upon the request from Side by Side International, Calmette Hospital provide first aid at Cambodian National Para-Athletics Competition, which was hosted by the National Paralympic Committee of Cambodia and Hearts of Gold. It was touching to see those para-athletics’ performance, as the photos show. The first aid team attended many athletics during the events.
On March 3rd, SBSI staff and volunteers visited Rumdual Island(a.k.a. Kor Island, former killing field) with 8 members of Graphis and held a health check on SBSC School students, as well as a 1st aid workshop for adults.
SBSI held an Advance EKG interpreting special workshop near Khmer Soviet Hospital on January 21st. Mr. Bud Hattaway prepared a special power-point material for this class in order to help the participants to learn about many different cases. Overall the class was lively and participants, both doctors, nurses and medical students were happy to attend it. Of course, this short workshop is not enough for the perfect interpretation. Mr. Bud encouraged them to “practice, practice, practice” reading hundreds of waves at their hospitals or even on Internet.
On January 20th 2017 at Calmette Hospital. The class was given by Mr. Bud Hattaway from MTI again. There were 21 participants, including 18 medical staff from the hospital and some internship students.
This was the sequence of the first workshop held in December last year. The lesson was even more exciting with all the participants who eager to learn. Ms. Sarim (MTI) and Mr. Rathana (UHS students and SBSI Intern) gave good translation too. At the end, the certificates from Calmette Hospital, SBSI and MTI were handed to the participants.
This is a part of the SBSI’s program to enhance Emergency Medical Services in the kingdom. “Khmer help Khmer!” “The Khmer lives should be saved by Khmer people!” We, SBSI staff and Mr. Bud, all hope that the skill they learned from these workshops can used to save lives in the emergency medical scenes.
