The WHO Academy Mass Casualty Management has launched the Training of Trainers Programme for Emergency Units Preparedness and Response for the first time in India at the All India Institute of Management Sciences Trauma Centre in the national capital. The WHO Academy has developed the Mass Casualty Management Programme for frontline healthcare staff such as doctors, nurses, logistics support, staff, management and technicians working in emergency units. According to Professor Kamran Farooq, Head, JPNATC AIIMS Trauma Centre, WHO patented mass casualty course, “This is a patented mass casualty course which will be useful during a situation like mass casualty in which the hospital has to handle the mass casualty so that maximum lives can be saved. This team has experience from Somalia, Iraq etc and many other countries. Our vision is that the faculty who are trained at AIIMS Trauma Centre will provide training in hospitals and medical institutions across the country.

He said, this course will be of five days, in which three days will be for course and two days for training, faculty from other AIIMS are also participating in it. Dr Harald Veen, Course Lead, Mass Casualty Management Course, WHO EMRO said, it is not possible to provide treatment to every patient who is at risk of death, this is for exceptional situations of mass casualties. During situations like mass casualties a choice has to be made as to how to use the available resources, how to use those resources which need it the most It is for exceptional situations, where the hospital has to actually change its normal patient management policy, that the mass casualty management model has been developed by WHO in collaboration with an international group of experts for the benefit of patients. We are very happy to introduce such a system in India and take this mass casualty management forward. He further added, the aim of the training is to enable the hospital to give the best training when a lot of people have to be treated at the same time during a critical situation. Dr Ali Mehdi Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Medical Director, Kent and Canterbury Hospital, UK, told, if saving even a single life is a great achievement, we believe it is a great event not only in AIIMS but also in India. The participating team includes AIIMS New Delhi, AIIMS Jodhpur, AIIMS Patna and AIIMS Jammu. WHO said, "After completing the MCM course based on the principles identified in this publication, learners should be able to evaluate the local situation to ensure that an "all hazards" approach is followed.
