'I hope the unfortunate circumstances of the teacher’s death will drive more Malaysians to learn essential lifesaving skills like CPR.' - Chew Hoong Ling

RECENTLY, I read a report about a teacher in Ipoh who died after suffering from a heart attack. There were allegations that the paramedic team who responded to the emergency call did not perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation on the teacher, who had collapsed in his car.According to the American Heart Association, brain cells begin to die in just four minutes without sufficient oxygen. CPR must be performed immediately in order to save the victim’s life.

While the hardware is being prepared, we also need to equip people with the skills to perform CPR and use the AED, a medical device that can analyse the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock to help it re-establish an effective rhythm.
