History and Purpose
Today in our country there is a significant percentage of injured people who end up either in death or in disability. Therefore, it is considered necessary to reduce mortality and morbidity from trauma. In achieving this goal, it has been established that the organization of trauma centers plays a decisive role, with the initial stage being the training of health professionals (doctors, nurses, rescuers) in the basic principles of treating the injured. Improving the delivery of trauma-related health services determines the injured person’s quality of life.
Regeneration & Progress (R&P)’s Trauma Edu Management team delivers the most important work involving trauma education programs. The purpose is to significantly change the data that exists in the country up to now about the injured, since with the right training it will be treated correctly, resulting in the reduction of unjust deaths and disabilities that may be caused by the trauma.
