ADPC finalized the curriculum in translation and adaptation for Vietnam and supported the training at Basic and TFI-IW level for the Red Cross National Societies in-country, in two CADRE Basic + TFI-IW ran back-to-back in Hue, in February-March 2012, as follows: Dates: 6-8 February Hue, Vietnam (CADRE Basic) / February Hue, Vietnam (CADRE Training for Instructors and Instructors Workshop) / February Hue Vietnam (CADRE Basic) / 24 February - 3 March Hue, Vietnam (CADRE Training for Instructors and Instructors Workshop) Review and outcomes: Forty-seven Vietnamese participants qualified as CADRE Instructors, having completed the 12-day basic + instructor-level training course. The majority of the new CADRE Instructors are Vietnamese Red Cross Society staff, who will now be able to train other communities in rural villages and urban districts of Vietnam. One of the advantages of this particular CADRE training is its direct incorporation into the ARC (USAID-funded) Disaster Risk Management in Vietnam project. In the coming months as part of this project, over 800 commune level VNRC volunteers from 40 different emergency response teams in 40 disaster prone communes of central Vietnam will be trained by the 47 new CADRE instructors. The instructors and the communes they will work in are from the following provinces: Hue, Quang Ngai, Ha Tinh, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Quảng Bình, Quang Tri and Quảng Nam. Demonstrating the strong collaboration among Red Cross Societies actively supporting VNRC in Vietnam, additional trainees were from the American, German and Spanish Red Cross as well as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).A delegation from the United States Agency for International Development, American Red Cross and Vietnam Red Cross visited CADRE in Hue on 2-3 March The delegation comprised; Mr. Michael Foster, Supervisory Program Officer, USAID, Mr. Richard Nyberg, Communications Officer, USAID, Mr. Kendall RePass, Country Representative, ARC, and Mr. Le The Thin Director of Disaster Management Department), VNRC.[ For further information see Annex 2] 2.3. HOPE ACTIVITIES: HOPE Dhaka, Bangladesh Dates: January 2012 Location: Conference Room of National Institute for Preventive and Social Medicine (NIPSOM) Participants: 24 participants from different hospitals and institutions

5 Review and Outcomes: The First HOPE National Training under PEER 3 in Bangladesh was held at NIPSOM. In total there were 19 men and 5 women participants. Among the participants there were 20 doctors from various departments, three nurses, one medical instructor and one medical engineer participating. There were five HOPE National Instructors in total from Bangladesh, who are HOPE TFI Graduates from PEER 2. There was also one monitor from Nepal. Of the participants, 19 completed the course successfully. This was the first training following an extended period in which there has been no HOPE training in Bangladesh since PEER 2. The learnings from this course will help the instructors to prepare for the next courses.there are several challenges identified for HOPE in Bangladesh. There is an inadequate number of healthcare personnel in general. Also, the number of medical practitioners is less than is required. There is significant pressure on the available healthcare personnel. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the required numbers of participants. Moreover, those who are doctors have their private practices at weekends. This means that HOPE cannot be planned over the weekend or there is a question as to whether the participants will attend. Availability of HOPE Instructors is also a big challenge, as Bangladesh has very few HOPE Instructors currently available. Hence the HOPE course can only be conducted when they are available and the program must be scheduled accordingly. The HOPE budget cannot support instructors from abroad HOPE Lao PDR - Mithaphab Hospital Capacity- building and Planning Workshop (Model Hospital) Dates: Feb 2012 Location: Mithaphab Hospital, Vientiane Participants: Participation from different departments heads of the hospital who graduated from the HOPE Course last October 2011 together with invitees from the local police department, Lao Red Cross and Fire Department Review and Outcomes: Initial hospital risk assessment was conducted by MOH and WHO country office as part of the Safe Hospital Program in These outcomes were used as a basis for the discussions during the workshop in identifying and prioritizing relevant hazards, vulnerabilities of the hospitals and the capacity development needs in order to respond to emergencies effectively. The outcome of the workshop was a draft plan for the hospital incident command system (HICS) that identified the different roles and responsibilities of the command and general staff. The plans have been an incentive to action for the hospital staff following the planning workshop, in that the plans demonstrated the need for further improvement within the hospital itself HOPE Cambodia Dates: March, 2012 Location Siem Reap Provincial Hospital Participants: 24 participants (2 Women) coming from 6 Provincial Hospitals Review and outcomes: Attendant at the opening ceremony were Mr. Eung Reithy Reth, Deputy Director of Siem Reap Health Department and Dr. Eung Phallkun, Head of Siem Reap Provincial Referral Hospital. All participants are serving in the hospitals as head of hospital, doctors, staff and administrators. This is the second course in Cambodia where HOPE course has been conducted using the Laos language, and using National Instructors. Prior to the course, the Instructors met for revision of the HOPE course materials. This meant that the materials are now easier to understand. The revisions addressed the issues raised by the participants in the previous HOPE course in Laos. All participants were very active and eager to learn as exhibited in their pre-test and post test outcomes. Significant change was seen in their knowledge of the concepts of hospital preparedness, and in their skills in responding to emergencies. These results indicate that these graduates have an increased awareness of planning and practices which can keep their hospitals and patients safer HOPE Cambodia Hospital Assessment and Planning Workshop- Preah Kossamak Hospital (PKH), Phnom Penh Dates: March 2012 Location: Blue River Hotel, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Participants: 15 Hospital department representatives, mainly senior management, from many medical departments including EMS, Surgery, OBS, and non-medical including hospital facilities manager and financial director. Review and outcomes: The workshop was held over two days at the Blue River Hotel, Phnom Penh, which is a short drive from PKH. The workshop followed a process of review, assessment, shared learning and planning, through participatory discussion exercises, brain-storming, and desk-top exercises. There were sessions specifically for the discussion and analysis of the following issues: hospital hazard assessment, hospital vulnerability assessment, hospital capacity assessment, risk management and the planning and development of an emergency response plan. During the workshop, all participants were responsive and receptive. There was useful participatory planning and learning, and an opportunity to share ideas, particularly to prioritize the hazards within and without the hospital. There is very little participatory planning and consultation conducted within the heath sector in Cambodia, so it took a little time for the participants to be fully vocal but as a process and in terms of productive outcomes this was a very productive exercise.on completion of the workshop, the participants had gained the skills to understand the risks and vulnerabilities for PKH, and understand the main activities and action points to conduct in PKH as preparedness for disasters and emergencies, and also as prevention and mitigation of in-hospital hazards.. Objectives following on from this workshop are to prepare a full emergency response plan for the PKH, based on their developed understanding of the weakness and strength of their hospital. The workshop was beneficial for PKH, since hospital receives directives from MOH regarding disaster preparedness objectives, yet they are not specifically focused to PKH, neither are these directives detailed enough about the responsibility of each staff member in emergency preparedness and disaster management. The workshop provided necessary techniques for hospital assessment, and the

6 participants gained a deeper understanding of hospital disaster planning. The next steps towards development of a Hospital Preparedness Plan will also incorporate ongoing technical support from ADPC. In the workshop assessment, participants noted that it would be beneficial to have participation from relevant external stakeholders such as hospital budget holders and ministry officials, in such workshops. This would be an opportunity for them to fully understand the vulnerability of hospitals in Cambodia, and to share ideas/experiences, and to participate in assessments and planning exercises. The outcome could then be a deeper external commitment to support development objectives to improve the condition of the hospital preparedness, both considering internal facilities and concerning external risk factors HOPE Indonesia Dates: 30 March 30 1 April Location Tanjung Kodok Resort, Lamongan/Surabaya/Indonesia Participants: from eight hospitals: Muhammadiyah Hospitals & 1 Government Hospital in Lamongan-Surabaya. Muhhamdiyah University in Jogyakarta & Malang. Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital Instructors selected from various background experiences to support this program including Hospital Directors & Managers, Emergency & Disaster Expert, Senior Surgeons, and Earthquake Engineer with experience in disaster management. Review and outcomes: The course was carried out in association with implementing agency 118 Emergency Ambulance Service Foundation in collaboration with The Indonesian Hospital Association, Indonesia Surgeons Association & Muhammadiyah Hospital Lamongan The Hospital Preparedness Emergencies & Disasters Course was partially funded / supported by Muhammadiyah Hoispital in Lamongan. In Indonesia there is a requirement that every hospital must have a hospital disaster plan part of achieving Hospital Accreditation by the Indonesian Ministry of Health and The Indonesia Hospital Association. The HOPE course has been adopted by The Indonesian Ministry of Health, Indonesia Hospital Association and Indonesia Surgeons Association, Bahasa was used as teaching language, and in some slides and materials. All instructors for HOPE in Indonesia have extensive experience in disaster management and response, and contributed extensively to the original development of the HOPE Course, Opening ceremony attended by the Director of Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital, which is a focal point for Muhammadiyah Health sector in East Java, and a strategic location to initiate the HOPE Program in Indonesia with Muhammadiyah. For the final table-top simulation exercise, there were two incidents created: 1) An aircraft accident inside the airport and 2) an aircraft accident outside the airport. Groups are encouraged to draw on skills learned about hospital preparedness in the pre-hospital phase & hospital phase. The pre-hospital phase requires coordination with the rescue teams, security teams at the airport, fire and emergency services, as well coordination with all the other hospitals around the site. During this exercise, participants learn how management support and medical support should also be utilized in managing the disaster, not just utilizing senior medical personnel. 3.
