2 medics shooting the breeze before the inevitable shout goes up.
Lets hope we never need to rely on these rapid response guys but its comforting to know they are on hand.
Thanks Guys
The public health in emergencies programme provides training to volunteers in various aspects of emergency assistance in the immediate aftermath of disasters. This includes first aid and basic procedures such as mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, basic knowledge about common diseases and how to dispose of bodies.
Participants share this knowledge with the community through health information sessions and the provision of basic health care in ‘normal’ times.
Hena Acna Basar, a 32-year-old Bangladesh Red Crescent volunteer from Lota Baria in Barguna District, was able to use this knowledge in several critical situations. The latest one occurred two months ago when she rescued a boy who had just been pulled out of the water.
"I was doing chores and I heard someone crying. Some people were gathered near a pond, using traditional methods to treat my neighbours’ son, Manu, which is wrong. I cleaned his mouth and practised mouth-to-mouth resuscitation," she explains.
"I continued until he started breathing again, but he was still unconscious. I explained to them that it is not necessary to drain water from the stomach, even though that is the traditional way here in Bangladesh.
The boy survived, and later people thanked me. I knew how they felt, because when the cyclone hit in 2007 I was carrying my baby and I lost her in the water. I thought she was dead, but in fact she was alive and I am so grateful - she is now four years old and doing well. I think now I should help others learn these skills so that when a cyclone comes they can save people."
Hena participated in a public health in emergencies training as part of the Cyclone Sidr emergency operation.

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer testing the Bioprint FirstAid experiment by German Aerospace Center, DLR. He posted this image to his social channels on 31 January 2022 with the caption:
Could astronauts print plasters from their own skin cells? ️ We're not quite there yet, but I recently supported German Aerospace Center, DLR Bioprint FirstAid experiment on the International Space Station. This "plaster gun" is a bio-3D printer that produces a plaster-like covering for skin wounds from bio-ink. At this stage the ink is made from fluorescent microparticles rather than skin cells, but the goal is to use this technology not only in space, but also to provide personalised wound care for patients on the ground.
