Some 100 Metaphil kaubans participated in the “Save a Life, Learn CPR” training held last April 25 at the Metaphil Complex in Mandaue City.
The event was organized by the Philippine Heart Association together with Philippine College of Cardiology Cebu Chapter. It is part of the nationwide campaign to promote steps in simplifying the process of helping victims of cardiac arrest because every Filipino’s heart health matters.
A 5-minute film was shown on how to respond to a victim suffering from cardiac arrest. This was followed by a short discussion and a demonstration using training mannequins. Later, Kaubans’ took turns to demonstrate CPR with medical doctors on hand to evaluate their abilities.
At the end of the training, the Kaubans were awarded certificates as proof of their ability to perform CPR the correct way on any cardiac arrest victim especially during emergencies.
