Basic combat emergency aid training for SDF

Tekoşîna Anarşîst on September 4th 2020:

We want to share some pictures of the last medical education we were giving – an IFAK training. The aims of these educations are to expand the medical capacities of fighters in the Syrian Democratic Forces, teaching basic medical aid such as tourniquets to Kurdish & Arab fighters…


We were also teaching how to aply pressure bandages in places where you can’t use a tourniquet, together with DIY cheast seals for chest injuries. We explained the theory and after everybody got time to practice with their comrades, getting confident with these skills.

Another important skill is carrying wounded comrades effectively in different circumstances, transporting them to safe places where they can be treated. We hope that after this educations some of them will continue learning medical skills raising new generations of combat medics!
