Mass casualty management training strengthens Guyana’s emergency response systems
Guyana conducts mass casualty management training with international partners to improve emergency medical response and disaster preparedness across the country’s health system.
The Ministry of Health, in partnership with the University of Miami and the US Air Force under the LAMAT 2026 initiative, has launched a mass casualty management training program aimed at strengthening Guyana’s emergency response systems. The training focuses on coordination between hospitals, first responders, and emergency personnel during large‑scale incidents such as natural disasters or mass casualty events. Participants are learning triage protocols, resource allocation, and communication strategies to ensure faster, more effective care during crises. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize Guyana’s healthcare infrastructure and improve patient outcomes in emergency settings.
