Description

Description (EN):

The main problem defined by all the partners is lack of cooperation between the emergency medical services, which could ensure a quick reaction to threats to health and life of the people living in the cross-border areas. The major limitations are legal barriers, insufficient financial means, equipment shortages in medical facilities, problems with communication between the facilities and the emergency medical service teams as well as inadequate qualifications of these teams.The lack of specialist knowledge within the local communities also results in emergency medical service provided too late to the victims of dangerous situations. Shortages in specialist emergency medical service teams, ambulances and medical equipment makes it difficult to cooperate between the services. The major objective of the project is the cooperation between the emergency medical services aimed at the improvement in health care accessibility in emergency situations among the residents and visitors to the cross-border areas. The actions planned will contribute to the improvement in health care accessibility among the residents involved in the proj. The training courses will boost the level of the first aid knowledge among the medical staff as well as ordinary people. Due to the proj. implementation all partners will gain experience in the organization of emergency medical services, will receive modern equipment and medical vehicles. All the actions planned could not be implemented without the exchange of knowledge and experience by all the proj. part. While these actions are carried out, the partners will work together on developing the procedures of cooperation in emergency medical service. Cross-border training will result from this. The development of common solutions in emergency medical service will be the basis for further cross-border cooperation development aimed at the creation of emergency medical service mechanisms. Information added on 2020-06-05, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019) (English language only): The project now supplies ambulances and respirators helping border communities to face COVID-19 across the Poland-Belarus-Ukraine border. These cross-border communities suffer from similar health diseases and emergency problems. This project has purchased ambulances and respirators to tackle them. Such equipment is now available to treat patients with COVID-19 at Tomaszów Lubelski County Hospital.
