Successful ATLS Training at Manolos Base!

On Friday, 28th March 2025, Katim Tasol e.V. proudly hosted a comprehensive and highly successful Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) training program at the Manolos Aviation Ltd Base in Lae. This initiative was spearheaded by our esteemed Project Manager, Dr. Simon Ganal, alongside Dr. Florian, in collaboration with our partner Manolos Aviation’s MAMA Foundation.

ATLS is a globally recognized training program designed to equip medical professionals with essential skills for managing acute trauma cases. This training empowers healthcare providers to assess patient conditions rapidly and accurately, prioritize resuscitation and stabilization, identify whether patient needs surpass facility capabilities, and make arrangements for definitive care—all to ensure optimal treatment for trauma patients.

A total of 12 dedicated staff participated, covering vital aspects such as:
- Systematic and rapid patient assessment 🩺
- Priority-based resuscitation and stabilization 🔄
- Decision-making for facility capabilities 🚨
- Coordination for definitive patient care ⚕

The goal of this training is to uphold our commitment to delivering the highest standard of care to every patient. By empowering our medical teams with advanced knowledge and skills, we aim to elevate the quality of trauma care and enhance patient outcomes.

We thank the CEO of Manolos Aviation and his committed and hardworking staff, and MAMA Foundation team for the support in facilities and transport as we continue to work together to serve our people and save many lives.

A huge thank you to our Manager, Dr. Simon Ganal, for taking time to deliver this very vital training to the medical staff of both Katim Tasol and Manolos Aviation Ltd.

👏 Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and success in completing the ATLS training. Together, we’re making strides in improving trauma care and setting a higher standard of healthcare excellence.

Resharing from Bradley Gima James, our Project Manager.

Serving the Rural Majority.

The new National Health Plan 2021-2030 KRA1 focuses on community engagement and partnership as the core business of improving health at community level.

The model focuses on shifting power towards community members in-order to main equal power distribution between them and health workers in order to maintain and improve health.

It is so satisfying to see project lighthouse and reaching out to our people at Indagen.

The support for the community is unreal 💯

Let's keep going. It would be a dream to see local intellectuals return to home village and utilize knowledge through various capacities to give back to our people.

The country needs us now more than ever before. 🦾
