Bell-Kenz Pharma has partnered with the Quezon City Government through the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO) for the Sagip CPR campaign. This makes Quezon City the first local government unit in Metro Manila to join the nationwide initiative providing free hands-only CPR training. This partnership brings essential, life-saving CPR skills directly to Quezon City residents for free, which is crucial for community safety in a disaster-prone area. Learning CPR is a vital preparedness step that can empower anyone to save a life during a cardiac emergency. The training campaign is free for participants and will be implemented in coordination with the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. While specific session dates and venues for QC have not been announced yet, residents should monitor announcements from the QCDRRMO for upcoming schedules and registration details.
