Medical staff ready to provide the best possible care to EUG participants

“The medical staff is completely ready for any intervention,” said Tomislav Čengić, the Zagreb coordinator of medical teams at the European Universities Games Zagreb-Rijeka 2016, on Monday.

”Medical teams are ready at all locations. After organizing the medical service, which took several months to prepare and which includes both volunteers and doctors, we can finally say we are ready. We are present at 38 locations, there are more than 50 doctors and more than 30 volunteers. So far, everything is fine, everyone was assigned a location. We hope that we won’t have much work, but we are ready to cover all possible accidents and injuries”

Doctor Čengić says that they had a few interventions in the past two days, but these were mostly minor injuries.

”Here in the athletes’ village we have set up an infirmary which is at the athletes’ disposal; it provides all the help they might need”

”We do our best to make people happy with our service and with our readiness to act. We made sure that there is one or two doctors and one or two volunteers at each venue at all times, therefore, there shouldn’t be any problems or waiting”

The EUG medical team in Rijeka consists of 27 doctors, 10 physiotherapists and 40 medical volunteers.

The coordinator of medical teams for Rijeka, Damir Raljević, said that they had only minor medical procedures so far.

”Rijeka is ready and the team is well equipped to provide first aid”
