Paramedic for a trip abroad
What is a paramedic service for a trip abroad?
A paramedic for a trip abroad is a service provided for those who are interested in close medical support during their trip abroad. One that provides a professional and prompt response. Receiving rapid and professional medical treatment as close as possible to the time of the injury or illness is of the utmost importance and can sometimes be the difference between a quick recovery and a serious and long illness, and even the difference between life and death.
How to choose a paramedic for a trip abroad
When choosing a paramedic for a trip abroad, it is important to ensure basic and important things, without which the paramedic cannot be hired.
First, you must ensure that the paramedic has a valid license and that he meets the basic requirements of the Ministry of Health to conduct ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and PHTLS (Patient Trauma Care) training at least once every two years.
Additionally, it is important to check on behalf of which body he is acting. Paramedics in Israel have the authority to act only under the direction of a physician who supervises their activities and they work directly according to the protocols he has outlined.
In addition, you should make sure that the paramedic has medical insurance. Since this is a case of personal injury, personal injury claims are the highest, and if one of the injured parties decides to sue the paramedic, without insurance, he will not be able to meet the legal costs.
These requirements of valid certificates, professional insurance, and a supervising physician are the basic requirements for a paramedic to be able to accompany you during your trip abroad.
Additional matters to consider: the paramedic's experience, what his level of training is, and how many years he has been in the field.
When a paramedic completes his training, he is actually just starting out. It takes a long process until he receives the authority to operate alone, without a doctor attached. Further training is provided at the MDA and universities. (Ariel University as of today)
The paramedic's role is to respond to extreme and extreme situations. A paramedic who has not gained experience and advanced will respond accordingly. A trained and experienced paramedic will give you peace of mind and the assurance that if, God forbid, an incident occurs during your trip, you are in good hands.
