Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Awareness Week is an important initiative dedicated to educating the public about the life-saving technique of CPR. This week aims to raise awareness about the critical role CPR plays in emergency situations where someone's heart or breathing has stopped. By promoting CPR training and knowledge, the campaign empowers individuals to act quickly and confidently in emergencies, significantly increasing the chances of survival for cardiac arrest victims.
During CPR Awareness Week, various organizations, healthcare professionals, and community groups come together to offer workshops, demonstrations, and resources to teach people the proper steps of CPR. The focus is on ensuring that people understand when and how to perform chest compressions and rescue breaths effectively. This awareness week highlights the fact that immediate bystander CPR can double or even triple survival rates before emergency medical services arrive.
Moreover, CPR Awareness Week encourages people to learn how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which are often found in public places and can be crucial in restoring a normal heart rhythm. The week serves as a reminder that life-saving skills like CPR are not limited to healthcare providers; anyone can make a difference in saving lives.
To reinforce our collective commitment to save lives, this Ministry is observing a nationwide CPR Awareness Week From l3-17 October 2025. This initiative aims to enhance awareness, preparedness. and capacities of general public across all sectors in performing Compression-only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
