Basic first aid is defined as assessments and interventions that can be performed with minimal or no medical equipment. A “First-Aider” or first aid provider is defined as someone with formal training in first aid.
On December 28th 2017 and January 6th 2018, Iqra Educational Centre organized a First Aid training course for all its staff, ie. managers, teachers, caregivers, security personnel, cooks, janitors etc. The venue for both training sessions was our main branch at Dzorwulu-Alajo link.
Over eighty (80) Iqra staff, from its five branches, took part in the training which involved both theoretical and practical exercises. The training was handled by officials from the Ghana Red Cross Society.
The Ghana Red Cross Society-First Aid Instructor explaining some concepts to staff.
Some of the topics treated included: how to check a patient's level of consciousness and airway control, how to place a person in the recovery position and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The motivation for organising the training was the realization of Iqra management that most of our staff did not know how to give first-aid. So the aim was to teach more staff how to save someone’s life, should it ever become necessary.
We thus encourage other organizations to ensure that their employees know first-aid. Staff who successfully complete the first-aid training receive certification that they have participated.
