The programme is open to medical staff, paramedics, rescue team members, employees working in emergency and crisis response departments, and volunteers.
Aiming to build an advanced network of emergency response experts, the UAE has launched a unique initiative to train and boost the skills of its frontline heroes and volunteers.
The Jaheziya initiative organised by the Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak’s Volunteer Programme and the Frontline Heroes Office gives the country’s frontliners access to internationally accredited courses for emergency response and disaster management.
Through ‘unconventional medical training’ that adopts the highest international standards, the programme prepares participants for all kinds of potential emergencies, from infectious diseases and the spread of airborne viruses to natural disasters, fires, and even nuclear accidents.
