Turkey National Medical Rescue Team activities

Overview

The National Medical Rescue Team (UMKE) in Turkey has engaged in various activities to enhance disaster preparedness and public awareness.

During UMKE Week, activities included symposiums and practical rescue drills in Manisa, simulating responses to earthquakes, traffic accidents, and natural gas explosions. In Bursa, an art exhibition was held to showcase the efforts of personnel during natural disasters and to promote volunteerism in emergency medical services.

Following these observances, UMKE conducted a three-day training and drill camp in Yozgat. This exercise involved specialized personnel and vehicles from the Yozgat, Kırıkkale, and Kırşehir regions. The drill simulated a dam burst and subsequent flooding, focusing on searching for victims, performing triage, and coordinating hospital transfers.
