Approximately 450 volunteers from around the country were trained to teach first-aid, and some 700 others upgraded their training so that they could help paramedics in multiple casualty incidents.
As part of the courses, the volunteers used advanced technological learning methods such as simulations and multimedia games, using virtual reality glasses that were developed especially to improve the training of MDA’s next generation of volunteers.
