Participants in the first conference for medical emergencies and disaster management called here on Wednesday for the need to set up a specialized body to manage disasters and major crises, with the participation of all relevant government agencies dealing with accidents in the State of Kuwait. Director of Medical Emergency Management in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Faisal Al-Ghanim said at a press conference on the sidelines of the conclusion of the conference today that Kuwait "lacks an independent body with a clear strategy involving all government agencies which deal with the management of disasters and major crises that can occur in any country around the world. Al-Ghanim said participants in the conference from several countries also recommended the need to develop a system of communication between the ambulance that deal with emergency cases on the scene and the hospital by giving the medic the needed medical instructions that will reduce the complication rate until the case reaches the hospital. He explained that the aim of the two-day conference is to raise the status of the State of Kuwait in the field of disaster and crisis management and look at the experiences of developed countries in the field of emergency and ways to deal with major accidents if they occur. He said that the Ministry of Health is part of an integrated system involving all the competent state institutions to face emergencies and accidents, noting that the proposals and recommendations of the conference will be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration and to reach a permanent and joint apparatus for managing disasters and crises in the country.
