The Osun Government on Tuesday commenced a two-day training of 92 personnel in paramedic management and ambulance service.
According to The Commissioner for Health, Mrs Temitope Ilori, the training of people in paramedical services would be continuous and the programme has been successful in the reduction in mortality rate in the state.
The paramedic and ambulance service started about 9 months ago, with the
aim of rendering rapid responses in the
emergencies, especially Road Traffic Crash (RTC), through referral system.
About 300 to 320 victims are rescued monthly through this initiative; that is why we are training people to improve their efficiency in the field to promote effective health management in the state.
