Courses such as MRMI enable professionals to respond more effectively, stresses Mónica Seidi
The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, praised the Medical Response to Major Incidents (MRMI) course. She stressed that initiatives such as this "are an opportunity to conduct simulations that closely resemble real-life situations and train professionals, whether in health care or other fields, to respond more effectively." The MRMI is not only aimed at healthcare professionals. It is intended for professionals from different areas of intervention, namely firefighters, emergency technicians, doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, civil protection agents, military and security forces, the Criminal Investigation Police, press officers, journalists, as well as all professionals with management, command and monitoring responsibilities in Integrated Medical Emergency Systems," stressed the government official. The course is an international postgraduate programme whose main goal is to promote an integrated response to disasters by all Civil Protection units. “We must continue to train all entities directly involved in situations such as this, all professionals within the Regional Directorate for Health, Civil Protection and Fire Services, so that we can continue to respond more effectively to situations that could lead to fatalities,” continued Mónica Seidi. This year's edition of MRMI involved 130 participants. It was organised in partnership with the Regional Government, the Praia da Vitória Vocational School, the Praia da Vitória Municipal Council and the Praia da Vitória Humanitarian Association of Volunteer Firefighters.

Regional Government wants technology to serve people in health, emphasises Mónica Seidi
The Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi, praised on Wednesday the use of technology in the area of health, recalling, for example, the successful launch of the mySaúdeAçores app and encouraging telemedicine. "The ageing population has driven the demand for technological solutions that promote autonomy, well-being and social inclusion, also for senior citizens and those with a certain degree of dependency," she said. Mónica Seidi spoke in Madalena, Pico Island, at the opening of the Azores Senior Tech Expo event. The government official reiterated the "strong commitment" to telemedicine, pointing out: "We want to heavily invest in telemedicine to provide greater comfort to our patients, avoiding unnecessary travel and ensuring accessibility to health centres at all times." Before the audience, Mónica Seidi gave examples of technological applications in healthcare and social services, highlighting the agreement between the Red Cross and the Institute for Social Security of the Azores (ISSA) to support residents of the Region aged 65 or over who have a "proven degree of dependency or disability."
