More than 400 youth union officials, members and students took a community first-aid course in Da Nang on October 17, according to Báo và Phát thanh, Truyền hình Đà Nẵng.
The city's Youth Union and Student Association ran the sessions with AidFirst, a nonprofit that teaches first aid. The report says AidFirst was founded in 2024 by a student at an international school in Ho Chi Minh City. The instructors were AidFirst experts and doctors from that city's Emergency Center 115. Sessions were held at the Youth Union's conference hall in the morning and in Tiên Phước commune in the afternoon.
The course covered recognizing common emergencies, clearing a blocked airway, CPR, immobilizing fractures and treating soft-tissue wounds. Each participant received a first-aid handbook, and ten students were given 1 million dong scholarships.
The report does not say whether the course will be repeated or opened to the wider public.
