What steps has your National Society taken to support your public authorities in strengthening their existing legal frameworks related to first aid? Please explain:
DRC has a big role in dissemination and training of first aid, and is guided by the ambition “Everyone must know First Aid”. In 2018 we trained almost 100,000 people in first aid (compared to a population of 5.5 million), while the DRC first aid volunteers provided first aid to around 25,000 people at various events (Such as concerts and sports events). DRC collaborates with other first aid key stakeholders: Part of the Danish Council on Resuscitation, which is running a big campaign on stroke in the fall of 2019; in the Danish Council for First Aid a new module/training (with certificate) has been developed targeting “adults responsible for children”, and work is progressing on a new digital system for certificates.
