How exciting! #IsraelFoodRescue has been cited in Israel21c, a publication devoted to #innovation in #Israel! We are gratified to be contributing to the #agricultureandfarming industry, and especially to be addressing the #laborshortage caused by the war in response to the brutal slaughters on October 7. Terrorist incursions, #rape of hundreds of women, #beheadings of babies, families #burnedalive, all led to the departure of 2/3 of Israel's agriculture workforce. We are helping to fill the gap. https://lnkd.in/gXgTyNav

Challenging the status Quo…. ⁉️ Why should aid organisations have to deliver life saving surgery and care in tents? We acknowledge that tented facilities have their place in delivering medical care in austere conditions, they are cheap and easily transportable. Why can’t we improve, upgrade, evolve the medical facilities offered to people who put their lives on the line protecting others? These vital organisations - NGOs and charities deserve more. They need capable clinical spaces that offer; - temperature controlled environment - reconfigurable clinical space - ⁠are easily redeployable - ⁠protection from the harsh environment - ⁠the ability to relocate to a safe position in minutes and be re established in minutes - ⁠reduced logistic burden Our BD Director Paul Keating-Brown has first hand experience of deploying to Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ghana and several other places from his 25 years serving as a Royal Naval Nursing Officer. His thoughts are to focus on: The ability to deploy an agile, cost effective solution that can be part of a hybrid system - tents and modular solutions would offer significant advantage to deployed medical care. We seek governments offering aid, to offer better equipment to those risking their lives to save others. The Royal Navy medical service are trailblazing deployable medical capabilities this with the Medical PODS we delivered last year. #fcdo #humanitarian #medical #UN David Cameron David Wightwick CMG Tim Beacon Tim Hodgetts CB CBE KHS DL

U.S. Air Force Reserve members have been integral to the Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team, or LAMAT, a U.S. Air Force medical assistance mission that complements care for patients across medical specialties in island nations in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility. Air Force Reserve members traveled to Suriname, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Kitts and Nevis starting in February, and over the span of eight weeks encountered diverse experiences and opportunities to increase readiness and support communities. Air Force-led global health engagement, or GHE, activities are increasingly utilizing Total Force Integration, including active-duty and reserve component personnel and units. The Air Force Reserve’s support of LAMAT offers a powerful opportunity for practicing expeditionary medical skills and force retention. The overall mission enhanced U.S. Air Force and partner nation medical capabilities with more than 6,000 procedures performed on more than 3,500 patients. Every year, Air Force Reserve members have two weeks of annual training focused on maintaining military medical readiness. GHE activities offer a unique opportunity for reserve medical Airmen enabling them to operate in new and austere environments, which strengthens their readiness for a wide range of potential future operations.

🏥 November 2023 Medical Aid Update! We delivered $7,789.79 in medical aid to medics in Ukraine. Notably, $5,755.30 worth of vital medications (anti-inflammatory drugs, anesthetics, infusion solutions) went to the medics of the 61st mobile military hospital. Each medication, costing <$12 per unit, is a lifeline in their life-saving efforts. We allocated $1,348.48 for first aid kit components and assembled 50 kits for the National University of Civil Protection in Kharkiv. The first aid kits are now used for medical and military training; in time of war, training people to provide first aid is of an utmost importance. Additionally, we delivered 2 bactericidal irradiators for disinfection of air and surfaces and 3 pulse lavage systems (totaling $686.01) to combat medics at the 118th Mechanized Brigade.

Dear professional network. In the darkest times, the light of human kindness shines brightest, The war in Ukraine rages on, with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. Ukrainian paramedics (volunteers) at the frontline do not have enough medicine to deal with an enormous number of injured warriors. Ukrainian paramedics desperately need resources to buy tourniquets and other life-saving equipment. Dear network, I'm reaching out to you with a request to donate at least a few EUR or the most essential medicine they need. You could help here: Hospitallers Medical Battalion: [https://lnkd.in/eSnNvuMC] Your donation can help: - Replenish vital supplies: bandages, medications, and other essentials are desperately needed. - Equip field clinics: mobile medical units (volunteers only) need the proper equipment to treat the wounded closer to conflict zones. - Support evacuation efforts: ensuring safe passage for the injured to hospitals with advanced care is crucial. Together, we can become a lifeline for Ukraine's heroes. Let your compassion be their strength. Please if you help, even with 1 EUR, put a '+' in the comments. I just wish to see how kind my network is. #network

It's important to show the bloody details of war like this. People instinctively turn away and some even think it's "just too much for public spaces" but this is the world we live in. These are the effects of incendiary weapons being dropped on civilian areas in Ukraine. Before the internet perhaps 0.1% of society had ever seen what a field hospital looked like. Today it's still really low. That disconnection between the imagination and the reality of war disconnects people from the suffering involved. We should focus more on helping in these situations than turning away from them. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine and did this. They create mass graves in occupied areas, so there can be no "surrender" - they have to be resisted to the end. Ukraine should have everything it needs to protect itself from this evil. If it makes you angry, help in whatever way you can. The sooner the invaders leave the sooner things like this will stop happening. #Hospital #FieldHospital #Firerescue #Fire #Trauma #Surgery #MedicalTeam #SurgicalInnovation #Army #Natsec #NATO #Europe #Freedom #HumanRightsViolations #HumanRights #CivilRights

Last week, I participated in a military exercise with the Home Guard! Here is some information about the voluntary defence preparedness system in Sweden. The Home Guard is part of the Swedish Armed Forces and consists of volunteer soldiers who can rapidly mobilize in crises and war. The Home Guard also assists the authorities in cases of flooding, forest fires, searches for missing people, and the like. The Home Guard accepts applications from Swedish citizens who have some military background. Some positions are open to citizens without prior military experience (e.g., motorcycle dispatch rider, medic, dog handler). All are armed combatants in war. Most have done conscription service. New members with no prior military training do a very short 14-day version of basic military training and specialized courses. There are also purely civilian (unarmed) volunteer organizations that support Swedish society in crises and war. For example, there are so-called volunteer resource groups (in Swedish). https://lnkd.in/gFzaCM_k Many different organizations offer courses in home preparedness and the like, and there are special activities for youths 15-20 years old. There is information about this, for example, here: https://lnkd.in/gZUj8fXX (in Swedish) The Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has produced the booklet “If Crisis or War Comes,” which is available in many languages and recommended reading for anyone living in Sweden: https://lnkd.in/gX-ChwQA Here is some more official information about the Home Guard in English. https://lnkd.in/g_qTR2hA In addition to all this volunteering, Sweden has three types of mandatory total defense service: 1.      Military service (professional soldiers and officers + conscripts) 2.      Civilian service 3.      General compulsory national service. Everyone 16-70 years living in Sweden is part of our total defence and, if necessary, must help society in war if called on. https://lnkd.in/gPWzC3iA Civilian service is about ensuring that important parts of society function. Like military service, it can include basic training, refresher training, standby duty, and wartime service. At present, this concerns municipal rescue services and the electricity supply sector. Those not enrolled in military or civilian service are obligated to perform general compulsory national service, i.e., to assist with necessary societal tasks, e.g., water transport, childcare or food preparation in the event of a state of heightened alert and if called on. Despite conscription (which is gender-neutral), the brunt of the armed forces consists of professional full-time and part-time officers and soldiers. Together we hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Are you running LinkedIn or have you left automated dumb bots to call your shots and ‘cancel’ very good people without human intervention? Please reinstate Victoria Gubko, or we might just think LinkedIn is inadequately managed or, worse, part of the pro frump / pro putrid alliance. Or have you reinstated her already? In which case “Thank you”’:
