During the kickoff meeting for the upcoming Disaster
and Emergency Response Conference, the Honorable Minister of Public Health, Social
Development & Labor, Richinel Brug, met with representatives of the Bjorn Steiger
Foundation for the official handover of 30 CPR training Dolls.
The Bjorn Steiger Foundation, a renowned advocate for emergency patients for over 50
years, has been at the forefront of the fight against sudden cardiac death. This donation
aligns seamlessly with the Ministry’s vision of strengthening preventative healthcare
initiatives and enhancing emergency preparedness across the nation.
“Training in resuscitation and CPR is a crucial skill that can save lives,” said Minister
Brug. “CPR training should not be limited to medical professionals—it should be
introduced in schools and community organizations because, in an emergency, every
second counts.”
With a strong emphasis on prevention, the Ministry is committed to rolling out a CPR
preparedness training program that will empower individuals across all sectors of
society. The initiative will help ensure that more people are equipped with the lifesaving
skills needed to respond effectively in critical situations.
The donation of the CPR training dolls comes at a pivotal moment, reinforcing the
government’s ongoing efforts to build a resilient and health-conscious community.
