First aid course for guides.

In the Chornobyl Zone the hospital is far away. If a visitor feels unwell in Prypiat, for the first minutes only the guide will be by their side.

That is why we organized a first aid course for the guides of our team. It was taught by Oleh Kartavyi of the Special Training Center. Everything was practiced right in the Zone: what to do when the ambulance is dozens of kilometers away and the mobile signal does not reach everywhere.

A few years later, one case showed why it mattered. An elderly tourist from Germany had dreamed all his life of visiting the ChNPP and came with his son. In the morning at the hotel he tripped on a rug and fell. But he endured the whole day and completed the entire route. In Kyiv he was found to have four fractures. Guides Helen Lu and Kateryna Aslamova stayed with him at the clinic until late in the evening.

The safety of our guests comes first.
