Sudden cardiac arrest remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. About 70% of the arrests occur outside the hospital.
Studies showed that if an automated external defibrillator (AED) and chest compressions are early performed, chances of survival significantly increase.
Did you know that through performing a simple act you can help save a life?
Therefore, in line with our strategic plan to promote preventive health, we have decided to establish a new Training Center (HHTC) to enhance this role with all members of the community, whether medical staff or non-working in this field.
This center was established in cooperation with the Arab University of Beirut under the supervision of the American Heart Association (AHA) through the training of qualified instructors by this association, which complies with the latest protocols and recommendations.
