Based on its new approach to its societal role, the ISF will be equipped with the skills and rescue kits needed to fight against the trauma phenomenon with the speed and proficiency needed to rescue the victims.”

Kassem thanked BLC Bank for “its strategic partnership” in funding and sponsoring RFL’s “First Responder” program, which targets the ISF, and the Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) sessions destined all paramedics.

RFL had, likewise, delivered certificates to a new class of Lebanese Red Cross EMS volunteers who took part in its training programs during a ceremony held in Bethania – Harissa. On this occasion, Kassem remarked that “RFL’s strategic partners have believed in the usefulness of the rescue culture and put it at the heart of their corporate social responsibility policies. While this culture has proven to be efficient in practice, the efforts made by the public sector and civil associations have yet to lead to a reduction in the annual number of traffic accidents.”

The new class of Lebanese Red Cross graduates included 22 EMS volunteers from the sectors of Furn El-Chebbak, Mreijeh, Kornet Chehwan, Kfardebian, Saida, Jezzine, Sariyeh, Batroun, Koura, Zgharta, Baabda, Aley, Semqaniyeh, Qabrshmoun, Deir Al-Qamar, Choueifat and Marjeyoun.
