Battlefield Healthcare Presents: Casualty Care Middle East 2010

It is a sad fact that the number of humanitarian disasters requiring international assistance seems to be on the rise. The earthquake earlier this year in Haiti and the recent flooding in Pakistan are just two examples. At the same time, armed combat is continuing in Afghanistan and the low-intensity conflict seems set to rage on in Iraq.

Whether responding to a mass casualty incident, participating in humanitarian missions in operational war zones, or taking part in armed conflict, it is vital that highly skilled medics are on-hand to minimise the loss of life and limb.

With this in mind, Defence IQ is delighted to announce that Casualty Care Middle East 2010 will take place with the official support of the Health Authority Abu Dhabi, between the 12th and the 16th December 2010 at The Sheraton Abu Dhabi Hotel & Resort, UAE.
