The Secretary of Health of the Municipality of Concordia, Dr. Diego Sauré, reported on the operation that will be implemented for the 46th edition of the International Maratón de Reyes to be held next Saturday, January 11.
In this regard, he detailed that there will be 9 ambulances and 3 rescue trucks, with each unit equipped to provide a prompt response with a defibrillator, oxygen, a nurse, and a doctor, in addition to 6 quad bikes to be able to perform maneuvers in the different sections of the race and among the public, “which results in a reduction of response times in the event of possible emergencies.”
In statements to Radio Ciudadana, Sauré also highlighted that “nearly 45 nurses and paramedics, 11 doctors, plus two radio teams will participate in the operation, because another characteristic that Concordia has, regarding the emergency system, is that two systems are implemented daily in parallel: the Province, which is 107, and the SIMES, which is municipal, but on the street we work together.”
This entire operation has the collaboration of the Masvernat, Carrillo, and Felipe Heras Hospitals, in addition to the Cavalry Regiment, which is providing an ambulance.
Finally, the Secretary of Health pointed out that the international race that is held annually in Concordia has certain characteristics to take into account, such as the factor of high temperatures, for which hydration is fundamental, as a recommendation for those who participate, for which stations have already been planned that will be along the route.
