Karen Department of Health and Welfare Emergency Field Medics
The field medics of the Karen Department of Health and Welfare, an ethnic health organization operating in Southeast Myanmar, provide trauma care and medical first response to more than 75,0000 people in over 200 villages affected by conflict and displacement.
Through a longstanding partnership, experienced Emergency Medicine physicians in the United States conduct annual Trauma and Emergency Management workshops for these "backpack" medics. Held every year since 2000, the workshops cover a wide range of key trauma and emergency management topics including obstetric and pediatric emergencies, bleeding management, suturing, fractures, dislocations and splinting, shock and field surgery practice. Over the years, the training content has been honed to suit the mobile, low-resource context that these medics operate in, and updated to meet the changing context and needs. Funds donated to this project will support the annual training workshop and the supplies and equipment that the emergency medics need.
