Doha: With a response record of over 130,000 ambulance calls last year, Critical Care Paramedics (CCPs) working with Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service (HMCAS) not only need to have a passion for their work, but are also required to administer the best care possible within a critical time frame.
But while CCP's are clinically trained, they also often rely on cooperation from the general public to do their job. A major challenge faced by paramedics is that sometimes other vehicles do not make space for ambulances to pass through the traffic easily. This can cause a delay in getting to the scene of a medical emergency to help someone whose life could be at risk.
The general public can find out more about the CCPs and all other aspects of the Ambulance Service at a fun day being held at Aspire Park this weekend, on 15 March from 10am until 5pm. |
