For three weeks, a team of over twenty specialists from the PCPM Emergency Medical Team participated in the mission in Tajikistan. Medical specialists were working on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic nationwide, regardless of the circumstances. They supported hospitals in the capital of the country, in the Fergana Valley and in the Pamir Mountains. PCPM EMT was the only international medical team that reached the hospital in Khorugh, where there is a shortage of medicines, and places with access to oxygen are very limited.
A team of 23 doctors, nurses and paramedics is working in Tajikistan. Over the next three weeks, Polish medical professionals will share their knowledge and experience in the fight against COVID-19. The mission is implemented under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO).
