There is a fully equipped medical tent set up at the finish line.

In the vid it shows medical staff grabbing onto Haridasse after he crossed the line and also Oliveira, the man holding him (left facing side) who collapsed on the finish line.

Nurses from my sister's hospital used to work in the hospital tent.
