Synopsis

Objectives

The project aims to establish a unified understanding of requirements for deploying lifesaving medical capabilities across Â鶹APP field operations by standardizing the composition of medical modules, to enhance interoperability among humanitarian stakeholders, and build capacity through training. This will ensure consistent, high-quality field care, foster interagency collaboration, and improve peacekeepers¡¯ survival rates and efficiency.

Components

The project¡¯s main components include data analysis on Damage Control Surgery (DCS) and Aero-Medical Evacuation (AME); establishment of a working group to finalize technical specifications and training inputs; revision and finalization of the Healthcare Strategy to integrate new medical modules; review of the Â鶹APP strategic deployment stock (SDS) composition; initiation of negotiations with other Â鶹APP entities for collaboration on DCS/AME; development and validation of training modules through CASEVAC exercises; creation of standardized packing guidelines and instructions; organization of a global conference to introduce the standardized Â鶹APP lifesaving module and training; and promotion of interagency collaboration and interoperability among humanitarian stakeholders.
