The Centre for Global Surgery (CGS) and Trauma experts from the Montreal General Hospital are currently providing teaching materials for basic life support and lifesaving procedures that can be performed by non-surgeons in Ukraine.
The Trauma team, including the CGS, at the Montreal General Hospital is supporting Health care providers in Ukraine, helping to save lives of people they might never even meet.
The CGS is working actively to share its knowledge around the world, in an effort to reduce injuries and mortality rates. The CGS has developed education, research, and multidisciplinary exchange programs to help low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) set up trauma systems which, can drastically reduce mortality rates.
The CGS is collaborating with its colleagues in Ukraine, providing telehealth support and teaching modules for the training of family physicians and others dealing with injured victims; CGS co-directors have worked and taught in the hospitals touched by the bombings. They are experts at implementing education programs in resource-limited settings.
