Hospital Personnel Receive Practical First Aid Training
BOHOL - The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office–TaRSIER 117 conducted the Standard First Aid Training for 24 personnel of Bohol Doctors’ Hospital. The three-day program focused on strengthening participants’ knowledge, practical abilities, and confidence in responding to medical emergencies. Through the training, hospital staff gained essential first aid competencies that can support timely intervention and immediate care while emergency situations are being addressed.
Building Confidence in Emergency Situations
First aid knowledge is valuable in healthcare settings, where prompt action can make a difference while a patient awaits further medical attention. Equipping hospital personnel with practical emergency response skills helps them recognize urgent situations and provide appropriate initial assistance. Regular training also gives staff opportunities to strengthen their readiness and become more confident in applying what they have learned when unexpected incidents occur.
Strengthening Bohol’s Emergency Preparedness
The partnership supports the Provincial Government of Bohol’s Strategic Governance Roadmap by promoting emergency preparedness and responsive healthcare services. Collaboration between disaster response offices and medical institutions also helps strengthen the province’s wider network of emergency support. As Bohol continues to improve its healthcare and disaster readiness efforts, training programs such as this help build a community where more people are prepared to respond when medical emergencies arise.
