Abstract

Introduction:The Japanese Red Cross Society has been supporting MCI response support for Palestine hospitals in Lebanon since 2018.Method:It was started from a hospital as a single topic in a one-year ER trauma course, which was combined with an ER triage course. In the next hospital it was revised into not only a theological lecture course but also a field triage training course with pre-hospital volunteers. As a result, when the Beirut explosion happened in 2020, the first hospital could accept more than 50 green patients at once, and the second one sent a pre-hospital team to do triage at the scene showing that training courses were useful in a real MCI case .Results:At this time, support is being provided in a new hospital by making use of these experiences. A current report will be available when this association is held.Conclusion:MCI response support for refugee camps is improving through trial and error, which would have much in common with other MCI responses in many countries and areas.
