Qatari Hajj Mission conducts first aid, CPR training session
QNA Doha The Medical Unit of the Qatari Hajj Mission conducted a specialised training course in first aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The training was specifically dedicated to qualifying the mission's members in terms of their operational preparedness for assuming the technical, administrative, and service functions, as part of the mission's overarching readiness framework for the 1446 AH Hajj season. The course was primarily intended to upscale their readiness to handle any potential health contingencies that might have been encountered by pilgrims at the holy sites, namely Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, to enable them to provide the primary effective responses that would minimise life-threatening risks, pending the arrival of ambulance vehicles or the mission's paramedics at the incident scene. This initiative formed part and parcel of an integrated strategy the mission pursued to highly prioritise the pilgrims' safety, through which the mission operators were positioned to deal with multiple potential health scenarios, in alignment with Qatar's unwavering efforts, year after year, to ensure a secure pilgrimage environment for pilgrims. The course, conducted by Deputy Head of the Medical Services Unit Dr. Mishal Abdullah Al Musaifri, along with two specialised physicians, featured both theoretical modules and practical applications. It aimed to familiarise mission members with the basic tenets of first aid and response protocols for common medical scenarios such as fainting and airway obstruction, coupled with high-intensity CPR drills using advanced simulation mannequins that mimicked real-world emergency conditions with clinical accuracy. These kinds of courses directly contributed to imbuing the mission members with the confidence and skills to act at their discretion during emergency situations, especially as they escorted the pilgrims around the clock at these holy sites. Being closer to pilgrims in such circumstances significantly enhanced the chances of early intervention, minimised the time of medical response, and subsequently raised the levels of public safety. This move is part of the mission's efforts, backed by the direct support of the nation's relevant entities, to ensure a streamlined and secure pilgrimage season. At the end of the day, all amenities and care were delivered within an integrated vision that made Hajj a spiritual journey full of serenity, fully commensurate with the nation's values in serving its pilgrims and safeguarding their well-being.
