RIYADH — The Health Holding Company and its affiliated health clusters have activated the 2025 national first aid training campaign in partnership with the Saudi Red Crescent Authority (SRCA).

This resulted in accomplishing a record milestone with more than 434,000 trainees acquiring first aid skills since the start of the campaign in late Q1 of 2025 through World First Aid Day on Saturday, Sept. 13.

The initiative supports the Health Sector Transformation Program, one of the Saudi Vision 2030’s key programs.

The campaign is part of ongoing efforts to raise public awareness of essential first aid skills and encourage community-wide participation from age 15 and above, reinforcing the principle of prevention before treatment.

As part of its active strategic partnership with the SRCA, the Health Holding Company and the clusters are delivering a range of training courses and programs across cities and regions for individuals aged 15 and older.

These efforts aim to enhance public health awareness and boost individual capacity for rapid life-saving interventions.

The campaign marks a significant step toward building a health-conscious society, improving the quality of healthcare services, ensuring easier access for beneficiaries, and embedding prevention as a core principle for citizens and residents.

It is noteworthy that Health Holding Company is a state-owned national enterprise that delivers high-quality, integrated healthcare services through the health clusters across the Kingdom.
