Since 2000, World First Day has been celebrated on the second Saturday of September. This global event aims to raise public awareness about the importance of first aid, both as an act of humanitarian empowerment and as a crucial component of a broader resilience strategy. Our collaborating centre, the of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, coordinates this event and provides valuable resources to national Red Cross Societies worldwide.
This year, World First Aid Day will focus on the theme "First Aid and Sports". Following a summer filled with football and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is the perfect time to recognize that staying active and participating in sports does not have to wait until your next New Year's resolutions!
At Cochrane First Aid, we believe that everyone should be equipped to handle emergencies, whether on the field or off.
