The good work of the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre has continued in recent weeks with training sessions held across the Territory, ensuring that our regions are well placed to respond in the event of a disaster. Minister for Health John Elferink commended the efforts of the passionate individuals who are assisting our Pacific neighbours in a time of need. The hours, days and weeks which follow a natural disaster are always the most difficult, so it is important that help is quickly made available for those affected, Mr Elferink said. The members of the team are leaving their families and homes behind to help others, something which is truly to be admired. The National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre is on standby, if required, to deploy its full field hospital capability as seen in 2013 in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan which devastated the Philippines.
