Hampyeong-gun's "Miracle of the Golden Time to Save Lives" Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training

Practical Training on Automated External Defibrillator Use and Chest Compressions

Hampyeong County has rolled up its sleeves to improve the emergency first aid skills of its residents.

The Hampyeong County Public Health Center in Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that from the 18th to the 19th, a total of three sessions of emergency first aid training, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), were conducted for about 90 village chiefs and general residents from nine towns and townships.

This training was organized to enable anyone to provide prompt emergency first aid in case of an emergency, following the increased importance of CPR and emergency first aid after the Itaewon disaster that occurred last year.

The county invited emergency first aid education experts from the National Emergency First Aid Education Center to provide not only theoretical education but also practical training using training equipment (Annie manikins) on CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators.

Participants said, "This training was a valuable time as it helped us learn how to properly respond to emergency situations that can occur in daily life."

Shim Hwa-seop, director of the Hampyeong County Public Health Center, stated, "We will strive to improve the emergency first aid skills of our residents by conducting consistent and systematic emergency first aid education," and added, "The county will take the lead in protecting the precious lives of its residents."
