Mass Gathering Medical & Trauma Care Planning

Large-scale events—such as concerts, sports events, religious pilgrimages, and public demonstrations—pose unique medical and trauma care challenges.

This hands-on workshop provides participants with practical strategies, medical preparedness tools, and trauma response protocols to handle mass casualty incidents (MCIs), crowd-related injuries, and high-risk situations at mass gatherings.
