The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has commenced a four-day Basic Life Support training for health workers from seven hospitals across the FCT to strengthen emergency response and reduce preventable deaths.
The training, certified by the American Heart Association, involves health workers from hospitals in Asokoro, Maitama, Wuse, Gwarinpa, Kuje, Kubwa and Nyanya.
The FCTA said the programme is designed to equip health workers with practical skills to respond quickly to medical emergencies and provide life-saving care before further treatment is available.
The administration is also working towards establishing Code Blue Teams across FCT hospitals to ensure patients requiring urgent attention receive prompt care.
The training includes a “Stop the Bleeding” course focused on controlling severe bleeding in trauma patients before definitive medical treatment is provided.
