In line with the Department of Health’s observance of the National Disaster Consciousness Month, Health Secretary Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial called on Filipinos to learn basic life support techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Ubial said all Filipinos, and not only health workers, should be involved in solving health problems. Thus, the DoH will conduct a pilot project for CPR training, she related, and some schools hosted training on CPR Day last April. \r\nShe also said the DoH will implement the Samboy Lim Bill or the CPR Bill that makes CPR training a requirement for graduation. The bill only needs President Rodrigo Duterte’s signature to make CPR training mandatory for elementary and high school students as part of the basic education curriculum. |
