*THE BUREAU OF HEALTH OF FALAS COMMEMORATES WORLD HEALTH DAY 2023.*

Issued! April 7th, 2023.

On the event commemorating World Health Day, it's important to stress that youths have significant roles in improving healthcare in Africa, as majority of the continent's population is youthful. We must keep engaging relevant stakeholders, advocating for more budgetary allotment for health, creating more awareness about alarming diseases and public health threats, improving maternal and reproductive health through training, advocacy, and self initiatives; and working to obtain a safe and clean environment, including adequately addressing climate change, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability.

We are at a point where our health and healthcare infrastructures across the continent are threatened, thereby requiring robust actions to revamp and improve various health outcomes.

The burdens of HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria, non-communicable diseases, maternal mortality, climate change, etc., are huge and keep doubling every year. We need to therefore work collectively, using various platforms, building strong networks, and undertaking key initiatives in addressing these issues.

Finally, we must be cognizant that a health population or continent enhances prolonged life, efficiency, growth, and productivity, and we must all work in our various communities, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or education, to produce and maintain a healthy population.

A Statement from Dr. Anderson Flomo Jr, International Coordinator of the Bureau of Health of the Federation of African Law Students ( FALAS)

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical lifesaving technique that is used to restore blood circulation and breathing in individuals who have experienced a cardiac arrest or other medical emergencies. The technique involves compressions to the chest and rescue breaths to help maintain blood flow and oxygenation to the brain and vital organs until professional medical help arrives.

In Africa, where many communities have limited access to emergency medical services, CPR can make the difference between life and death. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in Africa, accounting for over 17% of all deaths. In addition, many African countries face a high burden of communicable diseases, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS, which can also lead to cardiac arrest.

Despite the need for CPR, awareness and training on the technique remain low in many African communities. This is partly due to a lack of resources and healthcare infrastructure, as well as cultural beliefs and attitudes towards death and dying.

However, initiatives to increase awareness and training on CPR are underway in many parts of Africa. For example, the African Federation for Emergency Medicine (AFEM) has launched a CPR training program in several African countries to equip healthcare providers and the public with the necessary skills to respond to medical emergencies.

In conclusion, CPR is a critical lifesaving technique that can make a difference in African communities where emergency medical services are limited. Increasing awareness and training on CPR is essential to improve survival rates and reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Africa.

Join us this Wednesday, the 5th of April, as we unpack more about CPR.

Meeting time and link to be shared soon.

*Did you know that cardiovascular diseases are responsible for an estimated 17.9 million deaths globally each year?*

In Africa, where emergency medical services are limited and cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be a crucial lifesaving technique.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources, healthcare infrastructures, and certain cultural beliefs, awareness and training on CPR remain low in many African communities.

However, initiatives are underway to increase CPR awareness and training in Africa, which can improve survival rates and reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases. Learning CPR could save the life of your loved ones.
