A project dear to us has just become reality. We're proud that Caravana cu Medici Bihor, together with Caravana cu Medici -Timișoara Branch and Rotary Club Oradea Insignis, has won funding through the Raiffeisen Comunități program.
Here's what the project sets out to do: installing 30 defibrillators in 30 rural communities across western and south-western Romania. Over 6,700 people will be trained to recognize cardiac arrest and how to step in.
Why it matters: out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of preventable death in Romania. Only 4 in 100 people survive. One of the lowest rates in Europe.
In rural areas, an ambulance can take over 40 minutes to arrive. In this timeframe, a trained person nearby is the difference between life and death.
That's exactly what this project is building.
We sponsored this project because it's a real example of what we believe in: knowledge matters most when it's used to help and protect people.
💙Congratulations to the whole team. The work is only beginning and we are proud to support you in this process.
