In conjunction with our celebration of the 18th National Respiratory

scene. Studies show that the early application of CPR increases a

persons rate of survival by at least 75 - 80% of all out of hospital

attention/help is inaccessible, or at least, until medical help arrives at

the scene.

In cooperation with the NCPAG – SG, We hope to involve 100 to 150

students, faculty and personnel of UP to be trained as lay rescuers,

utilizing CPR as a life saving tool in times when we need them most.

We are hopeful that this endeavor shall help us promote a healthier

and better Filipino community. Undoubtedly, your acceptance and

support to this program will surely help us achieve our goals as leaders

of respiratory care and as an Organization as a whole.

Attached herewith are the documents related to the proposed project

in collaboration with the NCPAG – SG. Should you have any further

inquiries, comments and/or suggestions, please do not hesitate to

contact us at any given time.

Thank you and we are looking forward for a favorable response

regarding this matter.
