CDS has recieved formal recognition from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of El Salvador for their work in training first year medical students in first aid and pre-hospital care. Doctor Adalberto Coto offered formal thanks to Wilmer Lobo, president of Comandos de Salvamento. Wilmer gave some words of thanfullness and encouragement to students. Other volunteer comandos that recieved recognition were Luis Kolatto, Ricardo Leiva, Elver Flores, Cristian Flores, Jhony Días and Carlos Vasquez. The Comandos EMS school continues to offer training to the UES, and other Salvadoran institutions and private entities in order to enhance the quality of Pre-Hospital Care awareness throughout El Salvador.
Today, Comando community support teams utilized crisis intervention skills in attending to numerous injured followers of political parties that confronted one another in the streets due to the upcoming municipal elections in March. The Association of Comandos de Salvamento El Salvador respectfully requests all political parties and their supporters to allow us to fulfill our mission statement of, “SAVING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, OR POLITICAL CREED. For over 40 years, Comandos de Salvamento has been able to neutrally manage acute internal strife on the streets and in the countryside of El Salvador. We hope for a safe election season this year and ask you to also respect our EMS colleagues from the Green and Red Cross when offering first aid to patients in public.
