Grab the opportunity to learn first aid

THE recent tragic choking incident involving a young boy and gummy candy has highlighted the urgent need for widespread first aid training. This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of how crucial it is for everyone to have basic first aid knowledge.

Many countries around the world have recognised this need and have taken steps to mandate first aid training. For instance, learner drivers in several European countries are required to undergo first aid training, and some countries have even integrated first aid into their school curriculum.
