The event, scheduled from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM with 30-minute sessions, will offer practical training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillator handling, hemorrhage control, and appropriate actions in choking incidents. The instruction will be provided by qualified healthcare personnel, as reported by the City Council.
In addition to the training, the event will feature a static exhibition open to all audiences.
