A first emergency response training was recently conducted for the personnel of AECID and Instituto Cervantes de Manila by Valentín Río Sola, focusing on essential life-saving techniques. Participants learned how to respond effectively during an earthquake using the “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” method to minimize injury. The session also included practical exercises on controlling bleeding through direct pressure and proper bandaging. Trainees further enhanced their skills in CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), crucial for restoring normal heart rhythm during cardiac emergencies. The training empowered AECID personnel with the confidence and readiness to act swiftly and effectively in any emergency situation.
