Humanosh Emergency Medical Team Project

Need for implementation:

Border municipalities have to respond to the migrant crisis and don't have the resources or equipment to do so. Because of this, they are also doing a worse job for residents.
The hospital in Gorlice is far away (closest help 24 hours), people who are lying down, elderly, with disabilities are unable to reach or call for help, clinics are open for a short time (no staff).

Therefore, support and training are needed.
