Canberra-based Aspen Medical has been recognised for the third year running with a Vanguard award at the annual and prestigious International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) Global Impact Awards in Washington DC.
The award was presented in recognition for the company’s recent work in Ukraine where it is training surgeons in trauma care. It follows previous Vanguard awards for the company’s Ebola operations in West Africa, and its operations in war-torn Mosul in Iraq.
Aspen Medical Founder and Executive Chair Glenn Keys AO was on hand to accept the award on the company’s behalf, and paid tribute to the company’s US team led by Ethan Bond, VP Business Development and Growth.
“I am very proud that this year’s Vanguard award has recognised our work in Ukraine, where Aspen Medical delivers a range of services to both the US Department of Defense and the Ukrainian Ministries of Defence and Health,” Mr Keys said.
“These services include a comprehensive, mixed methods assessment of Ukrainian trauma and combat casualty care capabilities.
“In addition to the research component, our work there includes facilitating the engagement of US, EU, and Ukrainian leadership and subject matter experts through the execution of 13 technical symposia to facilitate lessons learned and identify areas for immediate improvement of trauma and combat casualty care,” he added.
“It was a great honour for our team to be recognised for the incredible work our team in Ukraine and the incredible results they have delivered for improved trauma surgery training, and for the prosthetics programs, supporting those who have lost limbs during the war.
“Congratulations to every Aspen Medical USA team member involved and supporting this powerful program.”
