Bahrain Royal Medical Services, in association with the Crown Prince Centre for Training and Medical Research, is training citizens and residents on emergency lifesaving procedures in the City Centre Complex as part of World First Aid Day.

The two-day event, which started yesterday and concludes today, aims to train citizens and residents in CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and first aid. Every year on the second Saturday of September, World First Aid Day is observed to promote awareness about how first aid can save several lives. This year the theme for World First Aid Day is “Learning First Aid for Life.” The first objective of World First Aid Day is to take the required steps to save the lives of injured or sick individuals.

The second is to manage an injured person’s condition by administering first aid and attempting to avoid infection. And the third objective is to get the wounded individual to the hospital as soon as possible.
