CPR training is essential for Community Health Workers (CHWs) as it equips us with the necessary skills to save lives in emergency situations.
Since we are the first-line workers and are trusted by our patients/clients in our communities, and we play a critical role in providing health education, preventative care, and support to all those that we serve who have chronic conditions.
Along with our primary responsibilities as a CHW we ae also expected to have the ability to respond to medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, choking or any other crisis situation.
CPR is a life-saving technique that can help restore blood flow and oxygen supply to vital organs in the body when someone's heart has stopped beating or they have stopped breathing. Learning CPR, CHWs can provide immediate assistance to patients in emergency situations before professional medical help arrives.
