It could not have been more appropiate! Dr Hoffman, a Hand surgeon at the Kaiser Medical Centre in California, presently working as an HVO Volunteer in Mongar Hospital, made an excellent presentation on this issue sharing his recent and first hand experience at Haiti, following the disastrous earthquake.
While Bhutan also recovered from a major shake in September last, another major shake is forecasted any time in the future. Dr Hoffman made relevant suggestions that are practical in our set up and emphasized that pre-planning, a disaster management team , traiging and flexibility of roles are the cornerstone of a successful management strategy in case of a mass casualty.
Lets hope and pray that such a thing never happens again!
