CPR and Accident Resuscitation Education (C.A.R.E)
The Why
In recent times, deaths from road accidents, cardiac arrest, heart attacks, and others are on the rise. As a result, knowledge of CPR especially in communities where access to healthcare is limited is a lifesaving necessity.
What We do
Together with the Health Emergency Initiative (HEI), we designed a First Responders (FRs) Scheme to educate organizations/individuals/communities/volunteers on responding to emergency cases such as Road Traffic Accidents (RTA), Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attacks, Fainting, Seizures, Internal bleeding, Bites, Poison, Burns, Wounds, Fainting, Choking etc., especially during the first one hour (Golden Hour) of the incident.
The goal of this project is to bridge the First Response knowledge and skill gaps found among bystanders by equipping them with CPR/life-saving skills.
Through extensive research and collaboration with local communities, we take meaningful, data-driven approaches. By continuously collecting, analyzing, and applying real-time data, we are able to identify high-impact interventions, allocate resources effectively, and tailor our strategies to the specific needs of different populations. This evidence-based methodology ensures that our programs remain adaptive, targeted, and outcome-focused.
