UN Buddy First Aid 1.0.8

The operating environment for United Nations peacekeepers has become increasingly complex and unpredictable. These peacekeepers face significant risks, including the potential for malicious acts, as well as the threat of injury, illness, and loss of life in the course of their duties. In such high-stress circumstances, prompt access to effective medical treatment is essential.

The United Nations is dedicated to ensuring a consistent standard of high-quality medical care for all personnel on missions, irrespective of their location or the conditions under which medical services are provided.

In developing the United Nations Buddy First Aid Course, a comprehensive review of various national and international civilian and military first aid programs was conducted. Relevant content was carefully selected and tailored to address the unique and likely medical challenges encountered during peacekeeping operations.

The Buddy First Aid Course establishes precise standards for the first aid skills required by peacekeepers, ensuring they are well-prepared to respond to emergencies effectively.
