Response Plus Medical and its subsidiary Prometheus to boost emergency response capabilities in Bahamas

• Move comes close on the heels of Bahamas opening its Embassy in Abu Dhabi
• Top-level team meets Bahamas Prime Minister, Minister of Agriculture, officials
• Prometheus signs MoU with Bahamas Aviation, Climate and Severe Weather Network

Nassau, Bahamas, 21 March 2025: Prometheus Medical International, a subsidiary of UAE-headquartered Response Plus Medical (RPM) – the leading pre-hospital care and emergency medical services provider in the Middle East region and a part of Response Plus Holding PJSC, is currently conducting the gap and risk analysis on emergency, crash, search and rescue response competencies in Bahamas.

The gap analysis follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Prometheus Medical with the Bahamas Aviation, Climate and Severe Weather Network Ltd (BACSWN) to develop the pre-hospital emergency response capabilities in Bahamas.

The MoU comes close on the heels of the Government of Bahamas establishing its embassy in Abu Dhabi earlier last month, a strategic step towards stronger economic, cultural and diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Bahamas, as also deeper engagement in the Gulf region.

The MoU was signed by Dr Rohil Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer of Response Plus Holding, and Robert Dupuch-Carron, Founder of BACSWN.

The details of the project were discussed during a series of meetings held in Bahamas capital Nassau between the Prime Minister of Bahamas, Hon. Philip E.B. Davis, and a high-level delegation from the UAE, led by Dr Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder-Chairman of Burjeel Holdings and Founder & Board Member of RPM, Dr Rohil Raghavan, Chief Executive Officer of Response Plus Holding, and other officials.

Dr Shamsheer, Dr Rohil and the visiting delegation also held meetings with Hon. Jomo Campbell, Minister of Agriculture & Marine Resources of Bahamas, Dr Aubynette P. Rolle, Managing Director of Public Hospitals Authority (PHA), Dr Keva Thompson, Deputy Managing Director – PHA, and Rt Hon Eileen Dupuch-Carron, Lawyer, Publisher and one of the most influential women in Bahamas.

The study covers the ancillary services related to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) certified emergency response competencies, and training of qualified Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.

Steve Backshall trains with Prometheus!

Prometheus was delighted to renew Steve Backshall’s medical training last week on his #TECC course. NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course is renowned worldwide as it teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.

“Every time I do this course it reminds me of how even entry-level skills could save lives. The actions a bystander takes in the first few minutes of an emergency are the most crucial.”

[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Steve was very complimentary regarding our faculty of instructors who are all top-notch, up-to-date doctors, nurses and paramedics, he said, “get training from people who do it for real!”

Our instructors immerse students in the scenarios and we find the hands-on aspect of our training courses impacts the retention of knowledge – students are empowered with confidence.

Steve says that with training, “When a crisis hits you’ll be less likely to panic, and do the basic things really well. you could well save a life.” We agree and prepare our students for any scenario they might encounter.

“It was really great to see Steve again, and his enthusiasm for learning every aspect to the highest level, we felt privileged to work with him as he pushes himself to achieve the highest standards. We also invited Doctor Malcolm Russell MD to provide Steve with instruction as he was not only the founder of Prometheus, but he also works as part of UK Fire & Rescue Service International Search and Rescue Team (UKISAR) who deploy worldwide to countries suffering a humanitarian crisis.”

MBE for Campaigner of Prometheus Bleed Control Kit

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Lynne Baird established The Daniel Baird Foundation in memory of her son Daniel Baird. He was just 26 years of age when he was fatally stabbed in Birmingham in July 2017, following a night out with friends, in an area where no bleed control kit or trauma pack was at hand to use. Lynne Baird believes that, had there been publicly accessible bleed-control equipment available, Daniel’s life may not have been cut so short. She has campaigned to roll out potentially lifesaving bleed kits to be accessible country-wide for the last two years.

Prometheus Medical, part of Safeguard Medical, teamed up with The Daniel Baird Foundation to raise awareness of knife and violent crime and highlight the importance of having publicly accessible bleed control packs available. Initially launched in the West Midlands, the Foundation started by raising £12,000, making Birmingham the first UK city to have bleed-control kits and specialist first-aid training implemented in pubs, schools, shops and other public venues.

Lynne Baird with PBCKAdam Johnson, CEO of Safeguard Medical says, “We’re thrilled Lynne Baird has received recognition for her tireless work in raising awareness of lifesaving skills and providing accessibility to the Prometheus Bleed Control Kit. The Daniel Baird Foundation echoes our mission here at Safeguard Medical; we exist to offer products that will enable responders at every skill level to preserve life in any environment and ultimately save more lives.”

Now installed across the West Midlands and in locations in Glasgow and London, the Prometheus Bleed Control Kit is designed to help control and stop severe bleeding. Containing the very best proven equipment, essential for medical trauma management, it provides the bystander or trained medic with the means to immediately control life-threatening external haemorrhaging. With response times and speed of treatment being paramount to increasing the chances of saving a life due to catastrophic blood loss, the efforts to control the bleed are vital.

In addition to working with The Daniel Baird Foundation, Prometheus Medical was joined by the West Midlands Ambulance Service and Birmingham Community Safety Partnership to develop this effective and comprehensive form of bleed control solution. For every Prometheus Bleed Control Kit sold, Safeguard Medical donates £5 to The Daniel Baird Foundation.

Prometheus Medical, part of Safeguard Medical, is dedicated to equipping responders at every skill level to save lives and offering free places on medical training courses across the UK to help prepare the public and businesses to respond better to medical emergencies understanding bleed control.
