Listen now
Description
In this episode of The FAST Archives, we explore a unique challenge in emergency medical planning from Helge Junge, who leads a team specialized in air rescue operations. Helge shares the intricate details of developing a comprehensive care and transport system for the World Economic Forum, held in the challenging and mountainous terrain of the Swiss Alps. The forum's location posed significant logistical and medical challenges, including potential mass casualty scenarios and limited local medical resources. His talk, "Air Rescue During WEF: Special Conditions and Problems," provides an in-depth analysis of how his team overcame these hurdles to establish a robust emergency response system. The solutions they created ensured attendees' safety and well-being and offered valuable lessons for managing mass casualty incidents (MCI) and rescue operations in austere conditions.
