The transport of intoxicated patients is a common duty that CDS does to offer support to patients and families. Family members and friends of these types of patients should accompany their loved ones to the psychiatric hospital with CDS. On many occasions, patients can turn violent due to drugs and alcohol consumed and it helps to have family members and friends there to assist EMS staff.

This last Tuesday, October 13th, a disaster awareness and mitigation fair was held at the Plaza Gerardo Barrios. Dozens of volunteers and members of nongovernmental organizations that comprise the Standing Committee for risk management in ElSalvador, celebrated the International Day for Disaster Reduction. CDS participates as one of the groups most able to help the most vulnerable since disasters have been commonplace in El Salvador.
Executive Director of CDS Roberto Cruz, and president of the governing board, Wilmer Lobo, hands the keys of a new ambulance to the delegate workers of our Sensuntepeque base Adrian García and Ivan Galdámez. This is for the new base that they founded in the department of Cabañas which is located in the northern part of El Salvador. The ambulance was donated by people of Albuquerque, New Mexico who each year send EMS vehicles to the CDS association for emergencies and rescues. For more information on our newest base in Sensuntepeque, Cabañas see here.
