STAFF TRAINING

Working in close cooperation with our affiliated company, IN-HOSPITALS LTD, we prepared comprehensive training plans for medical & non-medical staff, including on-site training in a mock-up rooms constructed especially for this purpose by E.D.C, and using healthcare simulation manikins. All training programs were managed and accompanied by E.D.C’s professional staff, in close cooperation with the medical center’s administrative and medical management. Senior staff trained and took part in medical simulation. The medical simulation included the most advanced technology machines and manikins such as human patient simulator, pediatric simulator and also birthing simulator.
