Krasnodar Offers Free First Aid Workshops to Boost Emergency Skills

The Krasnodar Territorial Disaster Medicine Center is running free first aid workshops for residents aged 14 and above. The sessions are part of a nationwide themed week from June 29 to July 5, focused on reducing deaths from accidents and injuries. The program teaches participants to respond in emergencies before professionals arrive. Topics include handling unconscious victims, respiratory arrest, cardiac issues, airway obstructions, bleeding, and traumatic injuries. It also covers accidents, poisonings, and other critical situations.

Applications are open to individuals and organisations. Since 2007, the center has trained over 110,000 people through its courses. Registration details can be found on the center’s official website.

The initiative aligns with broader regional efforts. The Krasnodar Region Health Ministry has deployed mobile units, such as a blood donation centre and a mobile 'Dispensary' unit, to support public health across the area. The workshops aim to equip more people with life-saving skills. The program’s long-standing success and current expansion reflect its role in improving emergency preparedness. Residents can sign up online to participate.
