First aid measures (P3K) are very important to be taught to children. Injured incidents or accidents can occur at any time. By providing knowledge about first aid, children already have important 'capital' if something happens.
As Hansaplast did in collaboration with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) at SDN 07, Kalibata Timur, Jakarta on August 15, 2018. Children at the school were given first aid training.
"Hansaplast wants to invite children to be able to handle the right situations that need first aid," said Setiawan Saputra, marketing manager of Hansaplast in Jakarta, Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
In the training, children were given an understanding of how to handle if a friend collapsed, bleeding from a fall and some other first aid handlers. Children are also given an understanding if there is an ambulance passing by ringing the siren what to do.
The children seemed very enthusiastic to hear some directions from PMI members. The student looks excited when there is a question given.
"If there is an ambulance we have to step aside. If you don't get out of the way, the person can die," said Andri.
PMI's Health Division, Istianasari hopes, this event can make children have the desire to become first aid heroes.
"Even the slightest action in a situation in a first aid situation can help. It is better not to laugh at or bully a friend who experiences a minor accident such as falling or slipping," Istiana said.
