2012 Rallye Rejviz

Rallye Rejviz (RR) is an annual EMS competition and conference. The name given to this rally is that of a truly magical place Rejviz – in the Jesenik Mountains, Czech Republic. It is where the original rally was run and to this day a large part of the rally is still run in and around Rejviz.

The primary goals of the RR are to offer EMS workers a chance to meet, interact, learn from each other, and discover that they are not alone. With the recent participation of the international observers, the project has taken on a new dimension. It could serve as an international model for any country that wishes to test the theoretical and practical skills of its rescuers “live” in the field.

The RR Project also provides a unique occasion for companies dealing with medical technology to demonstrate and test their new tools and devices under “field” conditions. A unique feature of every RR has been the inclusion of a disaster scenario. This exercise would be invaluable to the planning of international disaster response.
