A first aid training course was conducted at the Arabkir Medical Center as part of the Safe Heart Yerevan program. The initiative aims to ensure that individuals experiencing cardiac arrest in Yerevan receive immediate first aid before the ambulance arrives.
Participants of the course become registered volunteers of the program. This means that, in the event of an emergency within the central area of Yerevan, volunteers receive an alert through a dedicated mobile application and, if able, proceed to the scene to provide assistance. Volunteers also have access to nearby pre-installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs), enabling them to deliver life-saving intervention as quickly as possible.
