On March 15, at Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine started training in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) for Ukrainian healthcare professionals.

The training program was organized by MedGlobal, a charitable non-governmental organization that implements emergency response and healthcare programs to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities around the world.

A team of experienced medical volunteers from the United States, including Alicia Bean, Patrick Baker, and Christen Pizzuti, will lead the training sessions. Their expertise will equip Ukrainian medical professionals with critical skills in CPR, airway management, cardiac arrest response, and advanced resuscitation techniques, enhancing emergency response capabilities in hospitals and communities.

 “Cooperation with international experts gives our doctors access to the world's best practices in resuscitation. This not only improves the level of training, but also saves lives,” said Oleh Shevchenko, Vice-Rector of the SNHUU for Scientific and Pedagogical Work and International Cooperation.

“Providing Ukrainian healthcare workers with the latest techniques in life support is crucial, especially in times of war. These skills can make the difference between life and death,” said MedGlobal Ukraine Country Representative Oleksandra Kozlovska.

The training, which will continue until March 20, is a part of MedGlobal’s ongoing commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s healthcare system by providing high-quality medical education and hands-on practice in emergency care.
