Scenario rehearsal..

The first aid exercise for a simulated road traffic accident took place in stormy weather, strong winds, fallen trees, and 6 victims suffered multiple injuries. The emergency team received the report, mobilized personnel to the scene, performed initial first aid, specialized treatment, and transported them to a medical facility.

The competitions and realistic drills have brought practical value, helping the community understand first aid procedures, thereby confidently and proactively responding in emergency situations.
