Instructors of the International Charitable Foundation “Assistance to Victims of Road Accidents”, at the invitation of the Charitable Foundation “Rokada”, helped to master practical skills in providing premedical care to the displaced persons of the Irpin community of Kyiv region.
The participants of the training got acquainted with the basic terms and practiced methods of providing premedical care in case of sudden blood circulation stop and respiratory failure, as well as the procedure for cardiopulmonary resuscitation using an automatic external defibrillator.

Today, such skills are vital for everyone without exception,” said Inna Olifirenko, Director of the ICF “Assistance to Victims of Road Accidents”.
