The global network of doctors who work in dangerous places is set to be expanded through a new training programme for health professionals in Dubai.
The World Extreme Medicine programme teaches physicians the skills they need to deliver emergency care in harsh environments such as mountains, jungles, deserts and even outer space.
More than 20,000 medical professionals have so far attained the qualifications necessary to allow them to join expeditions in some of the most hostile environments on Earth.
With Dubai’s prime location as a centre point for rapid response to humanitarian crises around the world, it is hoped more nurses, doctors and paramedics can be trained to expand the network of those with specialised skills.
These kinds of situations can happen unexpectedly so it's very important to have the knowledge and training on how to act in such situations in remote areas
Tima Deryan,
explorer
World Extreme Medicine was founded in the UK in 2002 by Mark Hannaford, an adventurer and entrepreneur, who led expeditions across five continents, during which he came to understand the need for specialised medical expertise in dangerous environments.
“On these expeditions, I realised we were quite remote but the risks were significant,” he said.
“We employed doctors to join us on regular expeditions using standardised kit and they said plenty of their colleagues had an interest in learning new skills.
“Eventually we did our first UK course and 70 doctors turned up.
“Now we run around 30-40 courses around the world for doctors to work in mountain environments or in the jungle or desert.
“There is also an academic master's programme that has been running for seven years.”
Remote medicine
World Extreme Medicine is now regarded as a medical sub-discipline with a global community of 250,000 practitioners, experts and leaders working together to deliver urgent care outside normal medical environments – from outer space and the deepest oceans to remote deserts and the highest peaks.
Courses include delivering care in the mountains of Slovenia and the French Alps, conservation medicine in Namibia and the requirements of humanitarian aid in Devon, England.
He hopes a similar training programme can be established in the UAE.
“Expeditions are becoming more common. The global community is much bigger and people want a life-work balance to get fit and be outdoors,” said Mr Hannaford.
“It is also more accessible now.
“Anecdotally, we know those who go through this return to hospitals stronger medics because of their experience.
“Skills like problem-solving, risk assessment and working as a team are all well developed and have more relevance in an extreme setting, even in space.
“Nasa spends an awful lot of money on extreme medicine, preparing crews for life in space.
“There is a big health issue with astronauts being in space for so long and that is changing.
“The medical kit they have access to is often less than the average London paramedic.”
Hollywood role
Specialist care provided by World Extreme Medicine has even been used by Hollywood producers, not only to offer medical support on location during filming but also during the pandemic.
The Hollywood connection began when filmmakers were told they could only continue to make movies as long as strict health procedures were followed.
“Closing movies down because of an outbreak was very expensive and many livelihoods relied on these films,” said Mr Hannaford, who has been offered a golden visa in the UAE to help set up his operation.
“The task was to keep crew safe by keeping infection rates low to keep the production moving, with separate zones for cast and production crew to reduce risk of an outbreak.”
The company was asked to provide cover for Mission Impossible, the Jack Ryan TV series, Transformers and other, smaller films and shows such as the US Survivor programme.
Challenging situation
Adventurers such as mountaineer Tima Deryan know only too well the value of medical expertise in extreme environments.
The Dubai-based Lebanese explorer aimed to become the first Arab woman to complete the Adventurers Grand Slam, the challenge of climbing the Seven Summits, the highest peak on each continent, and then skiing to the North and South poles.
After being struck down with Covid-19 in 2020, 10 days after climbing Mount Baruntse in Nepal, her health rapidly deteriorated.
“I was not aware that it was Covid so I stayed on a mountain hut at 5,000 metres waiting for my condition to improve so I could continue,” said Ms Deryan.
“Had I not had the right training and teamed up with a capable insurance provider, I would not have made it.”
After five days of waiting, her oxygen saturation dropped to 40 per cent and her body temperature climbed to 40°C.
Ms Deryan was eventually evacuated off the mountain following emergency treatment from specialist caregivers but was thankful for the first aid knowledge she had.
“These kinds of situations can happen unexpectedly, so it's very important to have the knowledge and training on how to act in such situations in remote areas,” she said.
“It’s good to see World Extreme Medicine is setting up in Dubai as more people are interested in going outdoors and challenging themselves.
“Such courses are very important to improve the outcome in some of the most challenging situations around the world.”

Day 5, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Given the problems Sri Lanka have had in recent times, it was apt the winning catch was taken by Dinesh Chandimal. He is one of seven different captains Sri Lanka have had in just the past two years. He leads in understated fashion, but by example. His century in the first innings of this series set the shock win in motion.
Stat of the day This was the ninth Test Pakistan have lost in their past 11 matches, a run that started when they lost the final match of their three-Test series against West Indies in Sharjah last year. They have not drawn a match in almost two years and 19 matches, since they were held by England at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi in 2015.
The verdict Mickey Arthur basically acknowledged he had erred by basing Pakistan’s gameplan around three seam bowlers and asking for pitches with plenty of grass in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. Why would Pakistan want to change the method that has treated them so well on these grounds in the past 10 years? It is unlikely Misbah-ul-Haq would have made the same mistake.

What the law says
Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.
“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.
“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”
If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.

Day 2, Abu Dhabi Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Dinesh Chandimal has inherited a challenging job, after being made Sri Lanka’s Test captain. He responded in perfect fashion, with an easy-natured century against Pakistan. He brought up three figures with a majestic cover drive, which he just stood and admired.
Stat of the day – 33 It took 33 balls for Dilruwan Perera to get off the mark. His time on zero was eventful enough. The Sri Lankan No 7 was given out LBW twice, but managed to have both decisions overturned on review. The TV replays showed both times that he had inside edged the ball onto his pad.
The verdict In the two previous times these two sides have met in Abu Dhabi, the Tests have been drawn. The docile nature of proceedings so far makes that the likely outcome again this time, but both sides will be harbouring thoughts that they can force their way into a winning position.
