Key Successes • Due to the characteristics of the community in Dong Nai including the great distance between the national roads and Dong Nai hospitals, the local community support the first aid model of HI • Sustainability : the network is managed and coordinated by Red Cross volunteers
Challenges • No coordination system of the ambulances which leads to tardiness/lack of service (no hotline) • Potential for volunteers to be perceived as the cause of the accidents by hospital staff
Recommendations • All volunteers are issued with official emergency identification cards • Volunteers should be recognized by the government
