Under the patronage of the esteemed First Lady of Egypt, a new phase of the Egyptian Red Crescent's "With Your Hands, You Can Save a Life" initiative is launching this week in partnership with the Ministry of Social Solidarity across six governorates. Sponsored by Mrs. Entissar El Sisi, wife of the President of Egypt, this phase will reach six new governorates: Cairo, Giza, Qalyubia, Menoufia, Alexandria, and Damietta. 

This new phase includes 24 training sessions this week for more than 700 community health workers in first aid. These trainings aim to equip participants with essential first-aid skills and techniques for handling common injuries during emergencies. To date, over 1,500 community health workers have received this training. 

These ongoing efforts reflect the Egyptian Red Crescent's commitment to promoting community health and safety, expanding the initiative's positive impact by providing first-aid training to empower community health workers with lifesaving skills. Through these skills, they are able to support their communities, helping to reduce injury complications and save lives.
