1. Training and Capacity Building – Offering First Aid and Basic Life Support Seminars to Empower Community Volunteers and Members
Overview:
This initiative focuses on delivering comprehensive first aid and basic life support (BLS) training sessions aimed at equipping community volunteers and members with essential life-saving skills. The goal is to foster a safer community where individuals are prepared to respond effectively during emergencies, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality associated with accidents, health crises, and other emergencies.
Key Components:
- Curriculum Development:
- Designing tailored training modules covering fundamental first aid techniques, including wound management, fracture immobilization, bleeding control, and CPR.
- Incorporating BLS protocols such as airway management, rescue breathing, automated external defibrillator (AED) usage, and response to choking.
- Ensuring content aligns with national and international standards (e.g., Philippine Red Cross).
