Emergency Response and Medical
The Emergency Response and Medical Issues stream covered a diverse range of issues of interest to medical professionals, medical researchers and all those working and volunteering in this field. The stream was monitored by the International Life Saving Federation’s Medical Committee.
This stream highlighted medical research, advances in the medical aspects of rescue, first aid and resuscitation, and emergency response and was of particular interest to medical professionals working across Asia, in both urban and rural environments where drowning places a significant burden on the health system.
