Drivers working in hospitals are among the first to respond to emergency cases. However, they are not trained medically to help officials save lives. But this will soon change. The national referral hospital in collaboration with JICA launched life-saving training for the hospital drivers in Thimphu, today.

Forty-year-old Pema Wangchuk has been driving an ambulance since 2009. He said this training will come in handy during times of emergencies.

“This integrated Training module for hospital drivers contains roles and responsibilities of drivers. The training will be more useful as we will be trained on infection control and waste management practices,” he said.

The training programme is designed to equip the drivers of the JDWNRH with the necessary skills and knowledge of life-saving during emergencies.

“Along with medical emergency responders and nurses of the emergency department, drivers are also the frontline workers who are equally important for a critically ill patient,” said Zimba Letho, the Sr. Programme Officer at the Medical Education and Research Unit in the JDWNRH.

The training is expected to help drivers play a crucial role in saving lives by providing first aid correctly at the site. The hospital will train 22 drivers including eight ambulance drivers.
