On 25 April, the military exercise MEDEX-25, organised by the Latvian Navy, took place in the Baltic Sea, Liepāja and Skrunda. The main objective of the exercise was to strengthen cooperation between military and civilian structures to ensure a high level of readiness to respond to crisis situations involving mass casualties.    

On 24 March, the first Medical Wrestle simulation championship in the Baltics was held at Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU). This event was part of the RSU Research Week programme, developed and organised by RSU 6th-year medical students Aleksandrs Oborins and Rihards Seržāns, with academic and methodological support from their mentor, Assoc. Prof.

‘Rules in aviation are written in blood,’ is a saying that Aleksandrs Oborins has heard from his father, an aviation specialist, since childhood. At the same time, his mother - a doctor, has made it clear that in medicine, too, every mistake could cost a life. Perhaps it is this accuracy and responsibility inherent in the worlds of both parents that led Aleksandrs to the field of medical simulation, a place where mistakes are allowed to be made so that in real practice mistakes are eradicated altogether.
