People can collapse anywhere at any time. This often happens in their homes, at work, or on the street.
When this happens, quick action by those around is very important. The first few minutes are critical.
Doctors and hospitals are vital, but they are not always there immediately. Ordinary people can provide crucial help.
Sudden heart problems can cause a person to stop breathing and lose consciousness.
Knowing how to give CPR or other basic life support can save a life before medical help arrives.
This is a serious issue for Ghana. Many lives could be saved if more people knew these skills.
Learning basic life support is a duty for all Ghanaians. It helps communities be better prepared for emergencies.
It empowers citizens to act confidently and effectively when faced with a medical crisis.
