Maltese in constant use: 90 medical missions at the Open Air on the mountain!

At the Open Air on the mountain in Eichstätt, the safety of visitors was very important. From Thursday evening to Sunday morning, 80 helpers of the Maltese were ready to be able to react quickly in an emergency. The medical station was occupied around the clock and was able to ensure comprehensive medical care. A total of 70 volunteers of the Maltese mission unit Ingolstadt-Eichstätt worked in 6-hour layers and managed almost 90 medical missions. These mostly included minor injuries such as waved feet, but the emergency services were prepared for everything.

The event received special attention through the first participation of the "Bavarian Bone Market Donation" (AKB). During the festival, volunteers registered numerous possible stem cell donors for leukemia patients through uncomplicated cheek smears. Eight Maltese helpers actively supported this typing campaign and thus contributed to the important information about the stem cell donation.

committed helpers for the community

The Maltese medical service not only has the task of treating injuries, but also ensures that all festival goers can celebrate safely and carefree. As the Maltese website reports, great importance is placed on thorough training of the paramedics. These must meet varied requirements, from a good health constitution to teamwork and enjoy working with people. All in all, the volunteer paramedics are ready to help quickly in an emergency.

At events such as concerts and open airs, the medical service is particularly important, as is emphasized on firsthelfer.tv. The tasks go beyond emergency care and include the establishment of first aid stations and the protection of the event. Before the event, experienced paramedics advise which measures and resources are required.

pastoral care and support

Not only the health, the mental well -being of the visitors was also taken into account in Eichstätt. The Awareness team, supported by the Catholic Student Youth (KSJ), offered the opportunity to charge their cell phone batteries and their mental batteries. Lena Thiermann, the Malteser Diocese for pastoral, was part of the festival pastoral care with her husband Jona's pastoral care and ensured a pleasant, inviting atmosphere.

The great cooperation between the Maltese and the committed support from volunteers help to ensure that events such as the Open Air on the Berg are not only entertaining, but also safe. In the future, volunteers will also be sought urgently in order to continue to do such important medical service.
