Getting closer to EMT verification [Video]

Getting closer to EMT verification

After a visit from mentors and evaluators sent by the World Health Organization and Pan American Health Organization, Heart to Heart International is now in the final stage of the WHO certification process to be verified as a Emergency Medical Team Type 1 Mobile.

The certification will put us on the WHO’s registry for internationally deployable teams for an emergency response. Currently there are only three other organizations in the U.S. that are classified as EMT Type 1 Mobile.

The two days in July were a pre-verification visit – the last step before final verification. Maj. David Binks (Barbados Defence Force), Dr. Milton Salazar (Costa Rica EMT), and Mr. Luis de la Fuente (delegate from PAHO) evaluated of our processes, mechanisms, equipment and simulations. The feedback was very positive, and we were cleared to move forward with requesting a final verification date.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to HHI volunteers, without whom this effort could not be possible, and to our supporters, our staff, the teams that came before us, and of course, the World Health Organization for its guidance and support throughout this process and for its vision of a world where no health emergency goes unanswered, and every life is valued and protected.
