Kyiv, Ukraine – March 21, 2025 – MedGlobal recently provided a hands-on training program on Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) to 55 Ukrainian healthcare professionals. The training, held from March 15-20, 2025, at Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine in Kyiv, featured advanced emergency care skills that will enhance patient outcomes in critical situations in hospital and community settings.
Led by a team of experienced medical volunteers from the United States, including Alicia Bean, Patrick Baker, and Kristen Pizzuti, the sessions focused on critical techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), airway management, cardiac arrest response, and advanced resuscitation procedures.
"During complications and patient deterioration, our actions as doctors and nurses must be automatic. The American trainers helped us greatly in achieving this," said Enes, a physician at the National Specialized Children's Hospital "Okhmatdyt."
