PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Health Emergency Management Bureau (HEMB) of the Department of Health (DOH) has been conducting health emergency management-related trainings with the inherent goal of training DOH personnel to become competent health emergency responders. As a continuation of their capability building and to further enhance their competence in responding to emergencies and disasters, the DOH-HEMB will be conducting a training on Standard First Aid (SFA) on 10-12 July 2019 for selected personnel of the DOH Central Office and its attached agencies. The Department of Health – Health Emergency Management Staff (DOH-HEMS) is the country’s prime mover in responding to emergencies and disasters. It is composed of technical experts and practitioners in health emergency management who have been lauded for the way they have prepared for and managed national and international emergencies and disasters. This training program on Standard First Aid (SFA) is unique among the DOH-HEMS courses in that it focuses on building the emergency response capabilities of non-health professionals. It aims to provide laypersons the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable them to provide efficacious first aid intervention during emergencies and disasters.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the training, participants will be able to perform basic competencies necessary in an emergency to help sustain life and minimize the consequences of respiratory and cardiac emergencies until more advanced medical help arrives.
