And it aims to train the students on how to provide primary care to save a life of any person who may be exposed to emergency health cases which is considered as an initial aid until a specialized person arrives and provide medical care for the patient or to be transferred to the nearest hospital or medical clinic.
Dr. Aburezeq stressed on the importance of the first aid workshop which aims to publish the first-aid culture in the field of education within the university because of its positive impact widely in the community.
An effective role was played by Dr. Samir Mohammad from the College of Engineering at AAU in cooperating with the Deanship of Student Affairs to organize this workshop, where he commented that the workshop’s target is to provide the students with the knowledge about emergency service to those in need, whether inside or outside the university or in any family or social gathering.
The workshop has received an overwhelming response from students who participated in the training, and they have benefited from the advice that have been given by Mr. Momani.
