The US Embassy’s Humanitarian Assistance Programme (HAP) has conducted training related to first aid and trauma care for staff attached to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital as well as the regional health department.
The health education class was held on Wednesday in the boardroom of the Regional Health Authority’s offices.
Programme Coordinator, Josh Oppenheim, said the aim of the training session was to teach first aid and trauma care to interested persons. “So really helping to provide that emergency care if someone gets in a car accident or if there is a very dangerous situation, this is to provide that knowledge.”
