(English) The city of Oruro is the capital of the Oruro Region and is located southwest of Bolivia. This city has around 250000 inhabitants, and frequently reports different types of accidents affecting part of its population, one of the most recurrent being car accidents.
Due to this situation, and with the support of the Regional Police, the Police Support Group (GACIP, Spanish acronym) has formulated strategies to provide its voluntary support in response to emergencies, mainly in the field of prehospital care. These initiatives are a proof of progress in the Bolivian context since they contribute to local capacity building in emergency response.
