The meeting, convened by the Regional Administrative Manager, DCAEMT Sommik Duut Miilon, assessed the Region’s emergency response performance in a session led by the Regional Clinical Auditor, DCAEMT Janfaro Abdulai.

Human resource concerns, staff welfare and deployment issues were also addressed by the Regional Human Resource Officer, SAEMT Stephanie Delali Babanawo, supported by the Deputy Regional Administrative Manager, DCAEMT Martin Alalinga.

A major highlight of the meeting was a training presentation on the use of Celox haemostatic agents for managing severe bleeding during emergencies.
