According to a press release on Monday (Feb 26), the donation included various First Aid Training Materials to assist the association in their daily task.
Sibu MRCS chairman Chua Hiong Kee expressed gratitude for the donation, stating that it marks a significant step forward in their commitment to community safety.
“The AEDs, coupled with First Aid Training Materials, will equip MRCS and community members with the necessary skills and resources to respond effectively to emergencies.
“The donation not only enhances MRCS’s ability to provide immediate assistance during emergencies but also empowers individuals within the community to be proactive in addressing health crises.
