In a steadfast commitment to enhancing community well-being, the Flagship 3.0 Community-Based First Aid (CBFA) team, represented by Dr. Nurul’Ain Ahayalimudin, took the reins as the lead instructor in a comprehensive first aid demonstration. This significant event, aptly named “First Aid Demonstration,” unfolded during the Jamboree on The Air (JOTA) and Jamboree on The Internet (JOTI) 2023, held at the esteemed Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, IIUM Kuantan. The educational event held earlier today was made possible through the gracious invitation and organization by the Kumpulan Latihan Kelanasiswa Malaysia (KLKM). It drew over 100 elementary and secondary school students, primarily hailing from Pahang, alongside enthusiastic IIUM students.
Adding depth to the program’s impact, dedicated students from the Kulliyyah of Nursing, who are integral members of the Flagship 3.0 CBFA, also played a central role in the demonstration. Their active involvement showcased the synergy between the staffs and students from the Flagship 3.0 CBFA members in promoting effective first aid practices. The event encompassed insightful talks and hands-on demonstrations, covering a range of vital topics including first aid management for individuals with fractures, bleeding, electrocution incidents, allergic reactions, heat strokes, and those affected by bites or stings from poisonous animals. Each session was conducted with a focus on professionalism and accuracy, ensuring that participants gained actionable knowledge.
Dr. Nurul’Ain Ahayalimudin, with her extensive expertise in first aid and emergency management, guided participants through practical scenarios, providing them with invaluable skills to respond effectively in emergency situations. She commented, “Our team is deeply committed to promoting substantial awareness and a strong understanding of first aid for both physical and psychological injuries. Our objective is to enhance the resilience and sustainability of individuals and communities.”
This demonstration not only equipped attendees with life-saving knowledge but also exemplified the power of community collaboration in bolstering collective safety. The dedication of the Flagship 3.0 CBFA team, along with the support of KLKM and the active participation of students, resonates as a testament to the importance of proactive first aid education.Through events like these, communities grow stronger, better prepared to face unforeseen challenges. The Flagship 3.0 CBFA’s ongoing efforts in providing first aid awareness and training continue to serve as a beacon of hope for a safer, more resilient society.
