First Aid Training for Desuups
The Disaster Preparedness and Response Division (DPRD), Department of Local Governance and Disaster Management (DLGDM), Ministry of Home Affairs successfully conducted a Standard First Aid Training for Desuups in Phuentsholing, Chhukha Dzongkhag from 9-10 March 2026. A total of 15 Desuups from Paro, Thimphu, Haa, Chhukha, and Samtse Dzongkhags, participated in the training aimed at strengthening the capacity of community-based responders.
As community first responders, Desuups play a crucial role during emergencies. Strengthening their first aid skills helps improve immediate response during disasters and contributes to reducing loss of life and injuries.
The training was facilitated by trainers from the Bhutan Red Cross Society (BRCS) and included first aid theory sessions, demonstrations, and hands-on practical exercises. Participants also engaged in presentations and practical demonstrations, allowing them to showcase their understanding of first aid techniques and emergency response procedures.
A competency assessment was conducted to evaluate the participants’ learning outcomes and certificates were issued based on the assessment report.
