Tbilisi Medical Academy (TMA) continues its first aid training. This time, the academy's staff and students visited the primary school “Mzeka” in the city of Akhaltsikhe.

Knowledge of basic first aid skills is necessary not only for medical personnel but for everyone. What should we know, and how should we behave in a critical situation?

These are the questions that TMA students answered, and gave the school students the opportunity to have a hands-on practice session on mannequins themselves.

The workshop was held within the framework of the Erasmus+ Institutional Development Project - “LIFESTRAND”, which aims to train first aid skills for staff, students of universities and the general public in Ukraine and Georgia and share experience in this direction. In parallel, the project also aims to train the vulnerable population living in potentially high militarized risk zones, who have suffered as a result of Russian occupation and military aggression, in first emergency medical aid skills.

The project “LIFESTRAND”, unites 9 universities from Georgia, Ukraine, Spain and Portugal and was created, planned and is being implemented directly under the coordination of TMA.
