Vicent Grimalt, the mayor of Dénia, and Ana Vasbinder, the director of the Benidorm Clinical Hospital, signed a cooperation agreement this Tuesday to plan training exercises for the Local Police in the areas of accident or health-related assistance, prevention, and first aid.
The technical tools required for the training, including a mock defibrillator and a dummy to simulate resuscitation techniques, were also supplied by the Benidorm Clinic Hospital, which has operated in Dénia for three years.
The first term of this arrangement will be four years.
The materials “will be used immediately in the road safety and first aid classes” that the force conducts in the city’s schools, according to Jovi Estruch, Chief Superintendent of the Dénia Local Police. Additionally, the first course that will be offered as a result of this partnership with the HCB is already planned for June.
This partnership with Dénia City Council and the Local Police “is an obligation, but also an honour, in response to the warm welcome we have received from the public,” said Ana Vasbinder, who is also the director of Institutional Relations at Benidorm Clinical Hospital.
“One of our goals as a company is to be part of the social network in the communities where we work, so being able to help police officers improve their care of people is a commitment for us ,” Vasbinder said.
The health centre’s director further underlined that “their actions can often save lives” because the local police are frequently the first emergency services to arrive at an accident scene.
The Benidorm Clinical Hospital was recognised by the mayor for its participation “in this and many other municipal initiatives related to health and sport.”
