The head of the Doctors of the Americas Mission, Dr. Andrew Badulak, who, together with two U.S. health professionals, taught a course on tourniquet use to more than 25 rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento of El Salvador.

The volunteers received the talks with great acceptance, as they provided a good explanation of the correct tourniquet method in cases of severe bleeding emergencies.

Roberto Cruz, Executive Director of Comandos de Salvamento of El Salvador, thanked the doctors who taught the course, as it is an additional contribution to the knowledge of the volunteers who attend emergencies daily.

Doctors of the Americas will be at Comunidad La Cosquera in Sonsonate this Monday, where they will provide free medical consultations and medicines for the residents of this area.

The following day, the medical campaign will move to the Alegría area, in the Departamento of Usulután, and will conclude on Wednesday in Comunidad del Río Las Cañas, in the Ilopango area.
