Abuakwa South MP Calls for Mandatory CPR Training for National Service Personnel

The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South is advocating for all National Service Personnel to undergo compulsory basic training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

Speaking in an interview with Kumasi-based OTEC FM, Dr. Agyemang stressed the importance of equipping Ghanaian youth with life-saving skills to handle emergencies effectively.

He highlighted recent tragic incidents, including the stabbing of Nana Pooley, a passionate Kumasi Asante Kotoko supporter, during a football match. Referring to how the situation was managed in Nsoatre, Bono Region, he pointed out that having individuals with basic CPR knowledge on the scene could have made a difference.
