STAFF REPORT ISB: Pakistan lags behind in the provision of emergency training, which is a prerequisite to handling any disaster and coping up with any crisis situation.

It was the crux of the three-day training workshop organised by NUST Bio Reach Society in collaboration with LUMS EMS (Emergency Medical Services) held recently.

The trainers informed the participants that emergency education was the part of curriculum across the world. In a third world country like Pakistan where the uncertain calamities are endured everyday unfortunately there is no trend of emergency training.

The training programme was held at the Atta-ur-Rehman School of Applied Biosciences, NUST, in order to equip students with basic MFR skills.

At the occasion, the trainees were divided into 10 teams, each headed by a team leader in order to effectively impart training and monitor their progress.

Lectures unfolding basic course and techniques were delivered along with practical demonstrations.

An emergency triage assessment was also conducted, which combined different emergency scenarios learnt by the teams and tested each teams first-response skills.

The participants dealt with emergency scenarios aptly and were accordingly evaluated by trainees.

Finally, the Rector NUST gave trophy to winning team. Team from LUMS was presented a token of thanks to commend their hard work and coaching NUSTians.
