Methods of requesting medical assistance and safely handling the injured person until specialized medical teams arrive.
The training also included practical and interactive exercises that contributed to enhancing the participants’ skills and enabling them to deal realistically with various emergency situations.
Participation and Interaction Level
The program witnessed distinguished attendance and wide interaction from the participants, as the teaching staff showed great interest in the subject due to its direct importance in protecting students and staff within schools, in addition to its vital role on the personal, family, and community levels.
Participants expressed their great benefit from the information and skills provided, emphasizing the need to continue such training programs and expand them to include other groups and institutions.
