Ambulance assistant
Since 2017 we have been working with partners in Mongolia to develop a sustainable Emergency Medical System (EMS) and Social Protection System based on the country’s needs, resources and context.
The existing EMS system in Mongolia is staffed by highly dedicated doctors, nurses and drivers and its on-going challenges are recognised by policy-makers and the medical leaders, including the Society for Emergency Medicine. Importantly, our experience has shown that the way to strengthen social protection is to build a system in tandem with other agencies, such as NEMA, at both the street and national levels. Each is a vital link to the other.
The Ambulance Assistant program provides 5-days of hands -on training for ambulance drivers and first responders to support the ambulance doctors on emergency scenes. This includes the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) fire and rescue professionals.
About the project
A picture tells a thousand words ...
This image of an Ambulance Doctor providing palliative care to a patient at home by candlelight demonstrates the dedication and care of Mongolian EMS doctors.
The EMS Global education programs are designed to enhance the skills of all prehospital providers to deliver better patient outcomes.
