R2TMC HEDMU Wraps Up National CPR Day 2025 with a Life-Saving Mission
Theme: S.A.G.I.P. – Save a Life with CPR

In celebration of National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Day on July 17, the Health Emergency and Disaster Management Unit (HEDMU) of Region 2 Trauma and Medical Center (R2TMC) conducted a successful Hands-Only Mass CPR Training at the Outpatient Department–Animal Bite Center.

With this year’s theme, S.A.G.I.P.: Save a Life with CPR, the training emphasized five essential actions during cardiac emergencies:
• S – Survey the scene and check the situation
• A – Assess the victim
• G – Get help: Call 911 or the nearest emergency hotline
• I – Initiate chest compressions
• P – Place AED pads if available

The event was attended by a diverse group of participants, including patient relatives, able patients, nursing students, and R2TMC staff-all eager to gain practical life-saving skills. To recognize their participation and encourage continued preparedness, rechargeable flashlights were given as tokens, a symbolic reminder to always be ready to respond, especially in the dark moments of emergencies.

We were also honored by the presence of our Medical Center Chief, whose support underscores R2TMC’s commitment to empowering communities through health education and emergency readiness.

Together, we take another step toward a CPR-ready Philippines-one trained heart and prepared hand at a time.

Because CPR saves lives-and so can you.
