Impact of capacity building training on emergency medical services for chardham yatra: a pre-test post-test study in a hilly region of North India
The capacity-building program significantly enhanced the emergency medicine capabilities of medical officers, leading to better preparedness for handling medical emergencies during the Char Dham Yatra. The positive outcomes highlight the importance of continued investment in such training programs to reduce morbidity and mortality. Addressing the uneven distribution of trained officers is crucial for comprehensive emergency medical coverage along the pilgrimage route.
