Thank you and well done to Deepak Sharma and our Fiji team for a great PTC training session in Suva, Fiji. 29 postgraduate nurses were trained.

About 8% of the population of India are Adivasis or tribal people, often living in remote, traditional villages.

The simulation hall was transformed into a realistic trauma bay where nursing students became moulage patients with artificial burns, fractures, bleeding wounds, and chest injuries. Emergency alarms echoed through the room while instructors closely monitored every step of the trainees.
