IMI Karachi Chapter organized a one-day “Disaster Management Training Program” for the scouts and volunteers on October 27, 2013 at Madinatul Ilm Imambargah.
Dr. Sajjad Naqvi, Director of Paraprofessional Affairs, IMI Karachi Pakistan, formally opened the workshop by welcoming all the delegates from different scout groups and gave an overview regarding the global and local activities of IMI and benefits of Disaster Management Trainings to the scout and community volunteers.
Dr. Ali Ammar Zaidi, covered an Introduction of Disasters and its types along with Triage, tackling important issues such as the type of patients to be handled on priority basis and Triage Tagging. This session was interactive, in which participants also played a role.
After this, Dr. Mudassir Laiq presented on Hospital Management in case of disaster. He discussed the problems which are faced by the doctors and hospital management in case of a disaster and how scouts play a significant role in that situation.
Next presentation was conducted by Dr. Farrukh Aftab on orientation of different types of bandages. He demonstrated on the audience, the types of bandages and their application. After the lectures the audience were divided into groups and hands on training was given, on the topics of CPR, Triangular Bandages, Roller Bandages, and Safe Patient Transportation from incident site to the hospital.
In conclusion, Dr. Aamir Askari awarded certificates to the participants and Certificate of Facilitation to Dr. Ghazanfar, Dr. Hasnain, Dr. Mustehsan, and Dr. Hasan Mustafa for conducting hands on sessions.
It was an excellent conference well planned, presented, and well attended. If individually traveling we may have never enjoyed the kind of reception the participants received throughout their stay in Iran.
I want to thank you all for giving me such a great opportunity to be a part of your team (in Haiti). It was a unique experience and I really enjoyed working with you all.
Thank you very much for the wonderful work you do. I have seen it first hand in Karbala during the Arbaeen camps and my son was fortunate to participate in two of the missions. I have made a donation today.
I cannot express the profound impact IMI has had on my life: from the incredible opportunity to serve on the Arbaeen Medical Mission to the insightful career guidance and special programs for Young Leaders that I’ve benefitted from!
If InshAllah, I secure a residency in the upcoming match, I will owe the organizers and the speakers at the seminar more than they will take credit for.
IMI has been my outlet for philanthropic work since before I entered into high school. It is through IMI that I see my efforts, here in New Jersey, manifest into something much greater around the world. IMI has helped me realize that ambition alone is not enough to change the world; in order to achieve the changes we wish to see in this world we require ambition, vision, and most importantly execution. That is why I have joined IMI, so that my ambition and vision can meet their execution.
