PCTF launches fundraiser to boost trauma care training in conflict zones
Summary: The Primary Care Trauma Foundation (PCTF) has launched a fundraiser to expand its training programs for medics and volunteers in conflict zones. This initiative aims to enhance frontline trauma care in areas like Gaza, Ukraine, and Syria.
PCTF highlights the urgent need for funding, as injury and trauma cause more deaths than all contagious diseases combined. The organization trains local healthcare workers to provide immediate care, aiming to reduce fatalities and disabilities significantly.
The training includes a two-day course on trauma care, followed by a one-day instructor course. PCTF has trained around one million individuals globally and seeks to increase its reach and impact through additional funding.
