Bell-Kenz Pharma has partnered with the Quezon City Government through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office to launch the Sagip CPR Campaign, making Quezon City the first Metro Manila local government unit to join this initiative. This campaign teaches free, hands-on CPR skills to residents, empowering them to become first responders and potentially save lives during cardiac emergencies, which is vital for community health and disaster preparedness. The training is being organized in partnership with the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO), and residents should monitor official city announcements for specific dates, venues, and registration details.
Background
The Sagip CPR Campaign is a national initiative by Bell-Kenz Pharma aimed at making hands-only CPR a common life-saving skill among Filipinos. It has previously expanded to train transport frontliners and has a goal of reaching one million people, focusing on shifting health education from passive awareness to active preparedness.
