Military Hospital in Roorkee Hosts Combat Survival Training for Soldiers
The Military Hospital in Roorkee has concluded a week-long Combat Survival Skill Cadre, aimed at bolstering the battlefield medical readiness of troops from various units stationed at the Roorkee Military Station.
Twenty soldiers participated in the specialized training, focusing on Combat Life Saving Skills. They engaged in medical procedures using manikins, which serve as human body models for medical practice.
Throughout the course, the soldiers received hands-on instruction and lectures on providing first aid and emergency responses for combat-related injuries. This included managing gunshot wounds, mine blast injuries, burns, and other trauma situations typical in operations.
The program aimed to equip soldiers with the skills to deliver immediate life-saving care to injured comrades before they are evacuated to medical facilities, thereby increasing their survival potential in combat scenarios.
During the closing ceremony, Brigadier GS Bhatia, Commandant of Military Hospital Roorkee, congratulated the soldiers on their successful completion of the training. He highlighted the critical role of battlefield medical awareness and rapid response in life-saving efforts during operations.
Certificates and awards were presented to the participants, acknowledging their dedication to improving their combat survival skills and medical response capabilities.
