Emergency Response Africa (ERA), a leading healthcare technology company dedicated to improving medical emergency management in Africa, has reaffirmed its commitment to community safety with its established First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training Programme.
This programme, an integral part of ERA’s ongoing efforts to equip individuals and corporate organisations with essential life-saving skills for effective emergency response, provides hands-on experience and knowledge in managing medical emergencies.
Participants at the ERA’s First Aid and CPR Training Centre in Lagos or online can learn critical skills, including care for sick and injured individuals, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and first-aid techniques they can offer in emergencies until professional help arrives.
Co-founder and CEO of Emergency Response Africa, Folake Owodunni, said in a media release that empowering individuals and organisations with the skills to respond to emergencies can make the difference between life and death.
According to her, “Our First Aid and CPR Training Programme is not just about education; it’s about building a community of first responders who are ready to act when it matters most.”
The programme offers diverse options for individuals and corporations, such as First Aid and CPR Training and Basic Life Support with certification by the American Heart Association (AHA), as well as First Aid and CPR Training with National Health Care Provider Solutions (NHCPS) Certification.
In addition to the training programme, ERA provides a range of services to enhance emergency response across Africa, including a network of first responders, ambulances, and emergency-ready hospitals in Nigeria. ERA’s technology platform integrates these services into a cohesive system, supported by a 24/7 Command Centre.
Emergency Response Africa encourages individuals and organisations to participate in the First Aid and CPR Training Programme. By doing so, participants gain invaluable skills and contribute to creating a safer, more responsive community.
