Everyone can save lives: Minister Drese calls for first aid refresher

A central concern of the minister is to encourage the population to regularly refresh their first aid knowledge. Often the last course is common, often combined with the acquisition of a driver's license. Drese emphasized: "Everyone can resolve. Everyone can save lives. But the right thing wants to react." This shows that the revival can be learned not only for experts, but for everyone and that refreshing knowledge is an important investment in personal security and that of fellow human beings.

promotion of trust in your own skills

A crucial point that Drese appealed is confidence in one's own skills. "Basically, it's about having enough trust in yourself to intervene in an emergency situation," she said. In order to promote this trust, a new initiative should start: In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania there is a model project that is planning first aid training for students in classes seven and eight. This program aims to sensitize the younger generations of emergency situations and enable them to act independently.

Dreese's commitment in the area of first aid is not only visible in this speech, but is also reflected in the political agenda of the state government. The promotion of first aid training is considered essential to better prepare the population for possible emergencies. By inclusion of children and adolescents in such programs, the broad awareness of first aid measures should be sharpened, which can help to increase both the ability to react and the security of the general public in the long term.

In view of the fact that the revival is often crucial for the outcome of life -threatening situations, the creation of an environment in which humans are encouraged will be considered essential. In addition to political support, initiatives from civil society are also increasingly being observed that are committed to the spread of first aid knowledge. Awareness is to be further increased by campaigns and workshops and the shyness is to be removed from action.

These developments are particularly important because every second counts in emergency situations, and a well -trained population can be signaled to take on a major role in emergency medicine. The approach of teaching first aid in schools at an early stage could be imitating in other federal states and thus better prepare the entire society for a potential shock position, where collective knowledge of these skills contributes to saving life.

The discussion about refreshing first aid knowledge is not new, but is gaining in importance with every statement of key figures such as Drese. The day of revival in October should not only be regarded as a annual memorial day, but as an impetus to stay in a continuous learning and practical process. As Drese noted, every measure to improve knowledge of first aid is a step in the right direction.
