The first aid training sessions held within the LIFESTRAND project have successfully concluded. The trainings were organized for the personnel of one of the military colleges and took place at the Simulation Center of Poltava State Medical University (PSMU).
In the context of the ongoing aggressive war waged by the russian federation against Ukraine, the ability to provide fast and effective first aid is truly life-saving. These skills are often decisive in preserving life and health before medical professionals arrive. It is especially important for specialists working with young people in high-responsibility and high-risk environments to possess such competencies.
The LIFESTRAND training program combines theoretical knowledge with intensive hands-on practice. Under the guidance of junior trainers Danylo Ovcharenko and Rostyslav Radchenko, participants practiced clear action algorithms for managing bleeding, injuries, loss of consciousness, respiratory arrest, and other emergency conditions. No panic — only precise, confident and coordinated actions.
Building a culture of first aid and strong practical skills is a vital contribution to improving safety in educational institutions and the wider community. The LIFESTRAND project consistently pursues its core mission: to shape confident and correct actions at the most critical moments, when human life depends on decisions and reaction speed.
