The visit was part of a joint international project titled "Automated External Defibrillators Save Lives." The lecturers from Tartu Health Care College (THCC) spent a week at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the USB from March 21st to 25th. The main goal was to increase the knowledge and practical skills of adults living in rural areas of Estonia and the Czech Republic in the use of AEDs and first aid. "We prepared a programme for the Estonian lecturers, along with colleagues from the Institute of nursing, midwifery, and emergency care, that corresponded to the purpose of their visit," said vice-dean for foreign affairs, Mgr. František Dolák, Ph.D., who is leading the project for the FHSS USB. On the first day, the guests met with Filip Maleňák, the author of the mobile application "Záchranka". This was followed by tours of the Medical Operations Centre of the South Bohemian Emergency Medical Services (ZZS JčK) and the Air Medical Rescue Service. On the last day, the lecturers visited the village of Třebín in České Budějovice region, where local residents purchased an automated external defibrillator themselves.
