Abuakwa South MP advocates mandatory CPR training for National Service Personnel

Abuakwa South Member of Parliament (MP) is advocating for National Service Personnel to undergo mandatory basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training.

In an interview with Kumasi-based OTEC FM, Dr. Agyemang emphasized that the training will equip Ghanaian youth with essential life-saving skills to respond to emergencies.

He cited recent cases of deaths, including the stabbing of Nana Pooley, a die-hard Kumasi Asante Kotoko fan, during a football game.

Referring to how the situation was handled at Nsoatre in the Bono Region, he noted that individuals with basic CPR skills could have potentially saved him.

He added that this initiative will empower young people to respond effectively in emergency situations, ultimately saving lives.
