Basic First Aid Training in Valencia
The two-day training of Philippine National Red Cross on Basic First Aid was held last May 28-29 at El Comedor Seafoods Grill, Valencia City.   Among the participants were Asiapro North Mindanao Coordinators, Working Team Leaders and North Mindanao Technical Training Specialist, John Rey Asuncion.

The course aims to equip participants with knowledge, skills and confidence in providing care for a person who is injured or ill. It included lectures and demonstrations on bandaging techniques, emergency transfers and common emergencies. Graduates of this program are expected to apply what they have learned in times of emergency situations that may occur during working hours especially in the farms where medical assistance is not immediately available.
