TABUK, Kalinga – Medical volunteers of the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), Kalinga Chapter, trained elements from the Army’s 501st brigade based here, on basic survival course.
Loraine Marcos of PRC-Kalinga said their team gave a two-day refresher course to the relief and rescue team of the army. Areas of training included transport of patient casualty, bandaging, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, and basic medical first aid techniques.
Marcos said the training is important for rescue teams who usually meet emergency situations while saving lives of victims of calamities. The army rescue team is part of the provincial rescue and relief force who are called every time situations demand their need.
Because the province experienced serious casualties in the recent typhoons, the provincial rescue and relief group was activated.
Marcos said PRC-Kalinga is always available for similar trainings to other groups in the province, saying they just need proper coordination. *(PIA-CAR/Kalinga)
