Glenmark Philippines Inc. conducts First Aid for Kids Training as “First Responders”
Accidents
happens most of the time, it’s one of the unforeseen things in this world. But
are we ready to apply basic first aids in case there’s no immediate help around
when it happens?
Last
February 23, 2019, I attended Glenmark Philippines, Inc., an affiliate of a leading
research-based pharmaceutical company Glenmark Pharmaceuticals’ “First Aid for
Kids Training” at the SMX Aura through its brand on wound care, Foskina
Ointment.
Attended
by mostly parents with young kids, Glenmark aims to increase awareness about
the value of knowing the application of basic first aid, particularly among
parents and school facilitators of pre-school and kindergarteners.
We
all know that young kids are usually prone to cuts, scrapes, and burns,
acquired either at home, school or other areas like malls, parks, and
playgrounds where they are most physically active. We’ve all gone through that
stage, right? Thus, it is of utmost importance that as parents and school
facilitators, we should be knowledgeable when it comes to applying first aid
especially if we are the “first responders,” so we should know the proper wound
care management and in other cases of emergencies.
During
the training, we learned about cover wound care and burn management, what to do
in case of allergies and bites, the rudiments of CPR and the basic first aid
when it comes to choking. The lectures were
made easier with hands-on demos where the team behind Early Intervention
Management, Dr. Dan Luchangco from the Emergency Department of the Makati
Medical Center and Dr. Joy Sto. Domingo, Chairman of the VRP Emergency Medicine
Consultants taught us the basic trainings of applying first aid as the “first
responders.”
The
Media partners for this event includes Manila Bulletin (Digital), Channel Hue,
Experience Travel and Living magazine and Moms & Kids Magazine.
For
cuts and scrapes, fix it with Foskina! For more information about Foskina
