Knowledge of first aid is important in saving people's lives, and as such, everyone needs to have basic knowledge of such skills. That is why the Tbilisi Medical Academy (TMA) team continues the series of first aid workshops.  Representatives of the Academy’s administration and students visited IB Mthiebi School this time. 

TMA students shared practical experience and theoretical knowledge with the workshop participants and gave them the opportunity to practice the procedures on the manikins themselves.

In addition, TMA representatives shared general information with the students participating in the workshop about the Academy and the exchange programs, funding, and various extracurricular activities. 

The workshop was held within the framework of the Erasmus+ Institutional Development  Project - “LIFESTRAND”, which aims to train first aid skills for staff, students and the general public of universities in Ukraine and Georgia and share experience in this direction. In parallel, the project also aims to train the vulnerable population living in potentially high militarized risk zones, who have suffered as a result of Russian occupation and military aggression, in first emergency medical aid skills.

The project “LIFESTRAND”, unites 9 universities from Georgia, Ukraine, Spain and Portugal and was created, planned and is being implemented directly under the coordination of TMA.
