Rapido Drivers Trained in Emergency Response Skills
Imagine if people who drive bikes and cabs knew how to help when someone gets hurt!
That's what happened when Rapido and SACTEM teamed up.
They taught over 1,000 drivers how to give first aid and CPR.
This helps because these drivers are often the first ones at an accident.
Knowing what to do quickly can save lives, especially in the 'Golden Hour' after an accident.
The goal is to make roads safer and help people faster when they need it.
They will train more drivers in more cities soon!
Over 1,000 Rapido bike and cab drivers received CPR and First Aid training.
Training was conducted by SACTEM in collaboration with Rapido across 16 cities.
The initiative aimed to improve community-level emergency response.
Emphasis on the 'Golden Hour' for timely intervention in accidents.
Rapido and SACTEM plan to continue these training programs.
