The exercise emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, with doctors, nurses, and technicians working seamlessly to address the simulated crisis. The event fostered teamwork, effective communication, and mutual understanding of each profession's role in disaster response.
Approximately 20 professionals from various countries connected during the event, enabling the creation of a global network of experts in disaster medicine. The networking opportunity facilitated the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and strategies to enhance emergency response capabilities. In line with this commitment, the Centre is dedicated to hosting regular events, training programs, and workshops to further advance research and education in the field.
