This blog recounts their experiences. Health worker training includes the management of landmine injuries, penetrating and blunt trauma, shock, wound and infection care, and orthopedics.

A little bit of pre-training fun

While we're looking at 8-12 hours of training per day, the team does deserve to have a little fun. Naturally, dinner and karaoke ensued.

GHAP is a US-based consortium of health and public health professionals, faculty, specialists, students, and activists, who provide support for local indigenous organizations.

Australian Aid International is an international non-profit, non-government organisation committed to mitigating the double burden of poverty and poor access to quality health care in regions where health systems have either collapsed or are in crisis through the provision of emergency medical care, general and public health services and capacity building.
