We will bring in new training sessions spreading the rescue culture to society

During the delivery of certificates to ER physicians and nurses who completed the ATLS and ATCN training sessions provided by Roads for Life, RFL President Mrs. Zeina Kassem revealed that the association’s participation in the international conference to be held by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in Chicago in March 2018 will allow RFL to bring in new training sessions benefiting various swathes of society.
