The Military Hospital, Roorkee, successfully conducted a one-week Combat Survival Skill Cadre for troops from various units stationed at Roorkee Military Station, aimed at enhancing battlefield medical preparedness.
A total of 20 soldiers underwent specialised training in Combat Life Saving Skills, where they practiced medical procedures on manikins, which are human body models used for medical training.
Training on Battlefield Trauma and First Aid
During the course, soldiers received practical instruction and lectures on first aid and emergency response for combat-related injuries, including gunshot wounds, mine blast injuries, burns, and other trauma situations commonly encountered during operations.
The training was designed to ensure that soldiers can provide immediate life-saving care to injured comrades before evacuation to medical facilities, significantly improving survival chances during combat situations.
Commandant Commends Participants
At the closing ceremony, Brigadier GS Bhatia, Commandant of Military Hospital Roorkee, congratulated the participants for successfully completing the training. He emphasised the importance of battlefield medical awareness and quick response in saving lives during operations.
Prizes and certificates were distributed to the soldiers who took part in the training programme, recognising their commitment to enhancing their combat survival and medical response capabilities.
