Krasnodar hosts a two-day, hands-on course for learning first aid skills
Two-Day First Aid Course Kickstarts in Kuban Region
A two-day first aid course commenced on August 8 at the "Olympic" sports complex in Kuban, a region known for its recent severe flooding and emergency response efforts. The course, which is being attended by 400 people, is part of the 'Safety Culture' initiative and is supported by the regional governor and the local branch of the All-Russia People's Front.
The aim of the course is to teach participants essential first aid techniques, including recognizing and responding to common medical emergencies, providing skills in CPR, wound care, and handling injuries. The course also covers learning to apply temporary immobilizing bandages, methods of applying a tourniquet, and artificial ventilation of the lungs.
The specialists conducting the course are from the emergency medical services, ensuring that the participants receive training from professionals with hands-on experience. This is the third time the course is being held in the region, underscoring its importance in fostering a culture of safety and preparedness.
The 'Safety Culture' initiative aims to teach the public, including workers, teachers, and entrepreneurs, basic first aid techniques. By doing so, it empowers individuals to provide aid until professional medical help arrives, potentially saving lives in emergency situations.
While there is no specific publicly available information about this particular course, it is common for such courses to be organised by regional health departments, emergency services, the Red Cross, or local NGOs. However, no specific organisations supporting this course in Kuban were identified.
If you are interested in learning more about this course or similar opportunities, we recommend contacting local emergency services in Krasnodar Krai (which includes Kuban), regional health authorities, or trusted humanitarian organisations active in the area.
In the context of the announced first aid course, it would be beneficial for individuals to learn about health-and-wellness topics such as fitness-and-exercise, as understanding these areas can contribute to a holistic approach to emergency response and personal preparedness.
Moreover, by embracing science-backed techniques related to health, fitness, and wellness, we can better equip ourselves with knowledge that might be useful in various emergency scenarios, ensuring a more effective application of first aid in a wide range of potentially critical situations.
