Come Back Alive Foundation and Ciklum deploy educational and training centers for tactical medicine

Come Back Alive Foundation and the Ciklum IT company are raising funds for mobile educational and training centers for tactical medicine, which will help save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.

The project called “Holding you!” plans to raise UAH 20,800,000. 6,860,000 of that amount have already been transferred by the Ciklum team.

“We are glad to join such an important project because people are the highest value both in business and in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The ability to provide pre-medical aid is critically important in the conditions of hostilities, so we have high hopes for the educational and training centers,” Andriy Oksenyuk, CFO at Ciklum, shared.

Together with a partner, the Foundation plans to deploy eight mobile educational and training centers for tactical medicine at training grounds in the north, south, east, and west of Ukraine. Each of them must be fully equipped with educational and specialized training equipment and training consumables.

The cost of one such training center will be between UAH 1.6 and 6 million, depending on the number of study rooms and training ground capacity. Come Back Alive Foundation will purchase equipment for mobile educational and training centers, including:

• tents, power supply, and heating system;
• equipment for the study rooms (projector, screen, chairs, etc.);
• simulation equipment, including training mannequins;
• training supplies (tourniquets, bandages, splints, etc.);
• training kits (a basic set of equipment for instructors for conducting classes on the TССС ASM course).

Come Back Alive Foundation will professionally train 96 instructors of educational and training centers in accordance with a single approved standard, that in turn, will later be able to teach pre-medical aid at the TCCC ASM level to approximately 200,000 troops during the year.

“After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the number of servicemen in the Defense Forces of Ukraine increased manifold. A mobilized soldier usually has no knowledge of tactical medicine and needs to be taught from scratch. The army lacks qualified instructors because they are either at the front or overloaded. The “Holding you” project will train such specialists and servicemen.

It is also important that we help implement a universal standard of training in the military. Tactical Combat Casualty Care or TCCC is recognized as a priority by the Armed Forces of Ukraine Command,” says Liudmyla Pautets, Head of the Tactical Combat Training Department at Come Back Alive Foundation.

The Ukrainian Military Medical Academy, together with the Foundation’s instructors, will control the quality of training at the newly created educational and training centers.
