The Imam Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Royal Reserve Development Authority and the Saudi Climbing and Hiking Federation recently completed a wilderness life support training course at King Khalid Royal Reserve.

Over 20 participants learned essential skills for providing immediate medical care in remote and challenging environments.
