Dubai: Pupils aged 12 and above should be taught basic life support and emergency response, said a senior manager from the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (DCAS) during a first aid workshop at a Dubai school.
The understanding behind the early learning is to equip youngsters with the necessary skills to save lives, and eventually reduce the pressure on the health care system, said Mesha’al Abdul Karim Julfar, Training Manager at DCAS.
On Thursday, almost a hundred pupils from the Al Mawakeb School in Al Garhoud learnt how to recognise the signs of various emergencies and respond quickly and appropriately. |
