Road safety committee holds first-aid course in Hanoi

The National Committee for Road Safety in co-ordination with the Red Cross, the social forum Otofun and Ford Vietnam organised an event in Hanoi on February 8 giving first aid training to taxi drivers and fans of adventure tourism.

The National Committee for Road Safety held the first aid training to taxi drivers and fans of adventure tourism in Hanoi on February 8.

Experts from the International Red Cross provided participants with the basic skills necessary to handle common situations such as unconsciousness, fractures and bleeding so that they can give proper first aid to victims of transport accidents.

According to the committee’s Vice Chairman Khuat Viet Hung, Hanoi will pave the way for similar training models to be conducted in Hai Phong, Nghe An and Ho Chi Minh City later this year.

The National Committee for Road Safety intends to produce documentaries and promote campaigns to raise awareness of life-saving medical interventions.
