6 first aid stations at metro stations in Hanoi serve people watching parades and marches

On August 27, to ensure the safety of people and tourists coming to watch the rehearsal of the parade and march of the 80th National Day celebration (A80), the Vietnam Red Cross Society coordinated with Hanoi Metro Company Limited to deploy 6 first aid stations at stations on the Cat Linh - Ha Dong line and the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station line.

Among the above first aid stations, at Cat Linh station alone, the Vietnam Red Cross Society has arranged 2 first aid teams on the 1st and 2nd floors. Each shift includes 1 doctor, 1-2 Red Cross first aid trainers, 2-3 Red Cross volunteers. The first aid stations operate during peak days of August 27, 29, 30 and September 1 and 2.

The Vietnam Red Cross Society's first aid point is located at Van Quan station on the Cat Linh - Ha Dong Metro line.

The participating forces include trainers, guides, members, and Red Cross volunteers who have been trained in first aid; and officers, doctors, and nurses who are working or have retired but are still healthy. The on-duty teams will directly perform first aid on the spot, and at the same time support and coordinate the transportation of victims to medical facilities when necessary.

People who watch the parade rehearsal are given free medicine and advice when they have health problems.

This activity not only contributes to ensuring the health and safety of people and tourists participating in events celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day, September 2, but is also an opportunity to promote and raise public awareness of the role and significance of first aid.
