Successful Completion of First National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training in Tbilisi, Georgia
The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine and the LEPL Emergency Situation Coordination and Urgent Assistance Center in Tbilisi are conducting National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training within the framework of the European Union Centres of Excellence (CoE) Project 088 entitled, "Strengthening of CBRN Medical Preparedness and Response Capabilities in SEEE countries." The training, beginning on September 20 and concluding on September 22, is aimed at first-line chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear, or CBRN, emergency medicine responders and managers; second-line CBRN emergency medicine responders and managers; and both medical and para-medical personnel. National CBRN emergency medicine training equips key personnel with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively respond to CBRN emergencies. First-line CBRN responders and managers – pre-hospital professionals – will learn techniques and protocols for initial assessment, triage, decontamination, and stabilization of patients in CBRN incidents. Second-line CBRN responders and managers – including hospital management – will be exposed to training for CBRN emergencies, including medical emergencies, patient care, decontamination procedures and coordination with first responders. Medical personnel – doctors, nurses and specialists – will learn advanced diagnosis, treatment, and patient management techniques in CBRN-related scenarios. And para-medical personnel – emergency medical technicians and paramedics – will receive specialized training to enhance their skills in providing immediate care and support to CBRN-affected individuals in pre-hospital settings. By addressing the specific needs of each target group, National CBRN Emergency Medicine Training aims to build a robust and coordinated CBRN response system in Georgia. This training is funded by the European Commission's Foreign Policy Instrument, highlighting their commitment to supporting CBRN preparedness and response efforts in the South Caucasus.
