EMS crews from the Sensuntepeque base did a fumigation project throughout surrounding communities in collaboration with the main CDS base “Central”. The EMTs helped eliminate and prevent mosquitoes that carry DEngue. This is a great example of the work done by smaller bases in order to benefit the overall health of their communities.
CDS base of Nejapa and the city of Nejapa will come together this 21st of September to partake in this world event.

If each person could maintain their home clean and maintained, there would be no places for the mosquitoes to flourish.. CDS do not ask questions and try and help eradicate mosquitoes and larvae without any reimbursement.
“Pure spirit of service”..
The first community health fair happened on Friday Aug. 21st in Zacatecoluca. CDS collaborated with their Doctors, EMTs and medication consults. The Comando volunteers attended to dozens of humble farmers and poor families from the country area. The Fair was organized by the Minister of Public Health, the municipal mayor of Zacatecoluca and local NGOs.
La Comandos Rescue and recovery unit are experts in patient extractions in case of motor vehicle accidents. Their experience is shown in this extrication simulation of a make believe pacient trapped inside a van. These volunteers dedicate many hours of practice in perfecting their skills with jaws of life, and other equipment, while keeping the patient as calm as possible while talking to them and communicating every move they are doing in order to enhance security and trust in the EMTs.
Care is taken to use a backboard and neck brace to assure cranial and spinal stabilization to prevent further damage. CDS uses simulated excercises like this to be ready for real Motor Vehicle Accidents that are very prominent on the streets of urban San Salvador.
