I'm a member of the scout association of Nigeria, as a scout, we are taught on how to provide first aid but what I have learnt here today from Trauma Care is more advanced. Now, I know why we do CPR and what it does to help the victim's heart despite the fact they are not breathing by themselves. I am fully equipped with the knowledge to help many more victims. Thank you Trauma Care

I am Engineer Babatunde Oyetayo, the National Scouts Coordinator. I once came in contact with a terrible accident scene and to the best of my knowledge then helped the victims. But now I can identify the little first aid mistakes here and there I made then. I stand corrected and will use this new skill received on Heartsaver First Aid/CPR AED training with Trauma Care. I must commend the NGO on her First Responder Network Project. It shows their passion to get as many people saved as possible. Our Government alone cannot do everything. Other private organizations can adopt such lifesaving projects to save many more. Our scouts are definitely better first responders because of this. And we will use this skill set to save as many as we come in contact with needing first aid.

My name is Osahor and I signed up as a voluntary blood donor with Trauma Care International Foundation. I donated my blood for the greater good and I am changing lives because I know that every life is important.
I'm doing this to ensure that when someone needs blood, they get blood.
We are causing a change

I have gone through the Heartsaver First Aid/CPR AED course with Trauma Care, I learnt so much with simple maneuvers which could come in handy in our everyday life of helping many trauma victims especially from road accidents. I want to thank Trauma Care International Foundation once again. I didn't pay for this course. They are doing a great job

It was a typical afternoon when a student crossing the road on his way back from school was knocked down by a run-away bike. The scene was chaotic as concerned onlookers rushed to help but don’t have a clue on what to do.
As a trained First Responder with the Trauma Care International Foundation, I quickly assessed the student condition and sprang into action, thereby creating space for ventilation, I calm him down and administer first aid by arresting the bleeding area before taking him to the health Care Center for further check.
On another occasion I saw a man writhing with agony as a massive iron fell on his leg, time seemed to be a standstill for him. I carefully stabilized the injured man, ensuring that he remained as still as possible to prevent further harm. As I call for emergency medical assistance, I focused on keeping him conscious and calm providing reassurance.
