Valenzuela trains barangay ambulance drivers on first aid 

The Valenzuela City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (VCDRRMO) conducted a two-day Basic First Aid and Life Support Training for the first batch of barangay ambulance drivers on March 3, 2023. The training aimed to provide participants with additional skills and knowledge to respond quickly and efficiently to emergency situations.

Aside from learning basic first aid and life support, the participants also underwent an eye examination as part of preventive healthcare. This will ensure that the ambulance drivers have good vision and can operate the ambulance safely.

Led by the VCDRRMO, the training covered various topics such as CPR, bleeding control, and immobilization techniques. These skills are essential in providing emergency care to patients and can save lives in critical situations.
