Over 100 motorcycle riders popularly known as "Bodaboda" in Bungoma County have received specialized training in emergency, rescue and treatment of road accident victims.
The training which was done at the Kenya Medical Training Centre (KMTC) Bungoma Campus was aimed at equipping them with life-saving skills to enable them to respond effectively to road accidents and other emergencies in their line of duty.
The initiative, collaboration between KMTC Bungoma Campus and Kanduyi Constituency National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), aims to enhance road safety and reduce fatalities caused by delayed medical assistance.
The training whose facilitators were drawn from various health facilities in the area and Kenya Red Cross focused on areas such as accident scene management, basic First Aid, chest compressions, helmet removal, handling broken limbs, and safe evacuation techniques.
