First aid training to local police is signed by the Dénia Council and Benidorm Hospital Clinic

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.”

Alleged murderer of his stepdaughter tells her mother: “Go up to the house, the girl is sleeping”

Jesús JG, also known as Suso, is suspected of killing Nadia, his ex-partner’s adopted 5-year-old daughter, in a Murcia home. He also called his ex-girlfriend and his own mother.
It was the mother of the suspect who found the dead body. Later, she said that her son had contacted her while she was out at a pub with two friends, asking her to come over to the apartment since the girl was “sleeping” and he needed to go so she wouldn’t be left alone. When his mum got home after listening to her son, she discovered the girl in the bedroom “foaming at the mouth,” albeit still alive. Then she dialled 911.
When paramedics arrived on the scene in a 061 ambulance, they made numerous unsuccessful attempts to resuscitate the girl. The young girl passed away in one of the house’s bedrooms. Her remains were left there until shortly after 9:30 p.m., at which point permission was granted to take them out and deliver them to the Murcia Institute of Forensic Medicine.
Suso posted pictures of himself putting the girl on his shoulders while they play or eat together on social media, giving the impression that they are father and daughter. Hours after the crime, the person was taken into custody in Torrevieja.
Drug-related issues
Police were also informed by the suspect’s mother that her son had struggled with drug addiction for many years.
Along with a dozen close friends, Suso’s ex-partner Ramona participated in the minute of silence outside Murcia City Hall in remembrance of Nadia, whom she had reared and had custody of. Isabel, Ramona’s cousin and the biological mother of tiny Nadia, was also outside the hall’s doors.
