The SAMU First Response team traveled to Madrid, Spain this week to participate in the deployment of the SAMU Group’s emergency intervention team held before the General Director of the Spanish Civil Protection. They were being evaluated in order to participate in the Civil Protection of the European mechanism funds.

The objective of this day was for the General Director of the Spanish Civil Protection to see firsthand the capabilities of Grupo SAMU and their ability to deploy their health team effectively. The health team that would be deployed to any intervention would be made up of five assistance tents, an ambulance to transport critical patients, as well as the organizations team of doctors, nurses and volunteers.

At SAMU First Response we are very proud of all the work that our SAMU Group team has done. We thank the team of doctors, nurses, technicians and volunteers. We continue to advance in our work to serve vulnerable populations during crises and/or natural disasters.
