Headline Emergency Medical Team training in Palau

Description Members of Team Klemat and visiting observers laugh and discuss aspects of a simulated emergency preparedness exercise. Palau’s Ministry of Health and Human Services (MHHS) is working closely with WHO and the Government of Japan to support and strengthen the country’s emergency preparedness and response, including through the establishment of a national Emergency Medical Team (EMT) called Team Klemat. USAID also provides significant funding for the EMT. Palau’s EMT is named Team Klemat after the rope that holds the sails of the country’s traditional canoes – has been established to rapidly respond to sudden onset emergencies or disease outbreaks.(From left, background) Paula Miller, USAID country coordinator - Palau; Dr Jason Kalei Arurang, General Physician / Resident at Belau National Hospital; Peko Yu-Hsien Lin; and Dr Rachel Arurang, Medical Doctor at Belau National Hospital.
